Periodic Table and the Old Wise Guy
by Mary Jane Miller
Humans are divinely inspired creatures. We are called to be stewards of the earth and to care for our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. The periodic table is believed to be divinely inspired and helps us to better understand the properties and behavior of elements, allowing for advancements in fields such as medicine and agriculture that can ultimately improve the quality of life and show God’s love and care for his creation. “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace and wisdom.”
