Natural wonders

Miracles are impossible in Science, and here Science takes issue with popular religions. The scientific mani- festation of power is from the divine nature and is not supernatural, since Science is an explication of nature. The belief that the universe, in- cluding man, is governed in general by material laws, but that occasionally Spirit sets aside these laws, - this be- lief belittles omnipotent wisdom, and gives to matter the precedence over Spirit.
