Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from God's Glory in the Heavens
Thou visitest him' This the student of astronomy learns to say with a profounder and more intelligent humility than any other person can.
And, on the other hand, he too, I think, is likely to recognize more fully than other men the high dignity of our human nature, made in the image of God and partaking of the divine; able in amost real sense to comprehend the whole material universe, to share the thoughts of God, and to think them after Him.
I do not forget, indeed, the infinity of littleness that lies, so to speak, below us - the world of microscopic organisms and struct ures, of molecules, and atoms, and light - waves; nor do I deny that here also is to be found a revelation of God, which, in its logical force and import, is as well worthy of consideration as that contained in the story of the stars. But it seems to me harder to read: the type is not so large, the sentences are more intricate, and the lan guage is far less familiar. At any rate, that is not what we have to deal with at present.
