"Science observes how the power of God operates, discovers a regular pattern somewhere and fixes it as a "law." The uniformity of God's activities in His creation enables the scientist to predict the course of natural phenomena. The trustworthiness of God's behavior in His world is the foundation of all scientific truth. Upon it the scientist rests his faith and from there he goes on to achieve great and useful things in such fields as those of navigation, chemistry, agriculture, and the medical arts."
--A.W. Tozer in The Knowledge of the Holy
I was reading this book this morning and found this to be a very interesting perspective on science. Science is actually evidence of God and His trustworthiness, yet it has become a stumbling to many on their way to knowledge of and a relationship with the Creator, Christ Jesus.
I pray that as I continue to study science and perhaps someday teach it to others that I will not be as concerned with "the footprints of God along the paths of creation, but with the One who treads those paths."
