Awe and Wonder or Science

 "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained, ..." Psalm 8:3

I wonder if science has robbed us of the wonder of the natural world? By seeking to understand how things work, we forget to take a step back just to take it all in. People used to be amazed at nature, especially the heavens above us. The awesomeness of God who created it all. Science, in its war against God, tries to minimize the natural world by proclaiming to understand it all; the big bang, light years, the age of the universe, black holes, eclipses, etc. Theory has overthrown faith in our schools. Scientific theory has taken the wonder out of nature.

Any honest scientist will come to the logical conclusion that the natural world is not an accident of evolution. But faith has moral conditions attached to it and that it the sticking point for secular humanists.

"And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." John 3:19

The hubris of science is that by determining how something works, in theory, they think they understand why it works. They are mere men, not God.

When they discover a "new" star, they should ask God what it's name is.

"He counts the number of the stars; he calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; his understanding is infinite." Psalm 147:4-5

"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He might exalt you in due time." 1Peter 5:5-6

This partly explains why revival seems to favor the poor and common people. They believe without understanding. The proud cannot do that.
