Fact and Mystery

  On the contrary, Gregory says (Moral. xx, 1): "Holy Writ by the manner of its speech transcends every science, because in one and the same sentence, while it describes a fact, it reveals a mystery."

I thought the phrasing of this quote, and its placement in the argument, was beautiful. The imagery that the scripture goes beyond every science man can fathom is one that speaks to me as a biology major on a high degree. It gives me more of a connection among the literary language and philosophical thinking, and while I do enjoy both, my greater capability and enjoyment still lies in science. Science itself is full of facts that when numerously and specifically tied together in one certain order can halfway explain some phenomenon that God has created. God Himself can reveal a mystery within a simple fact. I just enjoy imagining the magnitude this quote carries for the extent of God and scriptures' ability. 

P.S. I commented on Abbie's.
