which distill as rain to the streams;
the clouds pour down their moisture
and abundant showers fall on mankind.
Who can understand how He spreads out the clouds,
how He thunders from His pavilion?
~Job 36:27-29
Science has always been a subject that interests me. I've always enjoyed learning how things work, what makes things go, and why things are the way they are. It fascinates me how much we have come to understand of our world, and it amazes me that there is even more to discover!
But see, that's the thing, there is more to discover...! Elihu brings up a good point, 'who can understand how He spreads out the clouds'? God does so many wondrous things. How could we ever try to understand them all?
There have been numerous scientific discoveries throughout all of history. The discoveries of electricity, radiation, medical cures... If you know about it, well, it's obviously been discovered. Many many many things have been discovered. There is still a copious amount of things still to be discovered. And yet, there are things that we can never even begin to wish to discover, let alone understand!
Science can only explain so much. Eventually you get to a point where you have to start guessing (Those guesses are called THEORIES and should NOT be taught as fact, in my opinion! [Excuse my little rant...]). However, if you crave a little more understanding than science can provide, God's Word can usually explain things pretty well.
Photo #36: I've always been a bit of a nerd... (My first [or was it second?] grade science fair. =] Happy memories.)
1st grade. 2nd grade was hiccups.
