Dana Science and The Bible

Book Name: Science and The Bible

Author: Dana

Published: 1856

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firma­ment showeth his handiwork." Thus spake the Psalmist in view of the revelation which God had made of himself in his works. With deeper emphasis may we now utter the same ascription of praise; for that revelation, as its records have been unfolded in these later days, has opened more and more glorious thoughts of the Almighty Architect, and appears as unfathomable in its truths, as God himself is in­finite.

The world in general is satisfied to see this glory as exhibited in form, color, magnitude, and other outside quali-ties. The external attributes of existences have indeed been graciously made so transcendent in beauty and full of har­monies, that "he may run that readeth." But there are al­so revelations below the surface, open to those who will earnestly look for them. For God's hand was never out­stretched to create, but beauty and wisdom appeared in every tracing; and, if seemingly wanting in the outer vest­ments, they are still profoundly exhibited through the struc­ture beneath, in the ordering of the parts from which the ex­ternals are educed, and in the universal laws there contain­ed; these are literally secrets of the Almighty, to be diligent­ly" sought out of all them that have pleasure therein."
