Job 28:28
And to man He said, “Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is
wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.”
The fact of every day and night reveal
things our own minds cannot explain. When a scientific man comes across a gap
in his explanations, instead of saying, “There is no gap here,” let him
recognize that there is a gap he cannot bridge and that he must be reverent
what he cannot understand. That “the exception proves the rule” is not true:
the exception proves that the rule won’t do; the rule is useful only in the
greatest number of cases… The man who bows down to scientific findings may be
as big a fool as the man who refuses to do so. The man who prays ceases to be a
fool, while the man who refuses to pray nourishes a blind life within his own
brain, and he will find no way out on the road. Job [exclaims] that prayer is
the only way out in all these matters.
