I’ve been alive quite a few years and never have I been exposed to more “science.” Those of us who are both curious and skeptical have feasted off the resources we now have at our fingertips to expand our knowledge. We’re now very familiar with the words randomized, double-blind, placebo, and control group. It’s also quite obvious that there is much to be gained from simple observation, which is a scientific technique. Sometimes there’s enough to go on by putting two and two together.

Great are the works of the Lord; they are studied by all who delight in them. Psalm 111:2

Here we have a simple statement requiring only that we look around. If we study the works of the Lord, we’ll find them to be great, and they’ll bring us delight. Or they’ll scare us, causing us to fear him. Then we’ll have arrived, because “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” (111:10)
