Quotes about Phenomena
Science studies the repeatable; history studies the unrepeatable.
- NT Wright
This nature is twofold; it includes not only the whole visible world of phenomena which is outside man, but also, in a wider sense, man himself; not his body alone, but his soul also.
- Herman Bavinck
The gospel gives us a standard by which we can judge phenomena and events; it is an absolute measure which enables us to determine the value of the present life; it is a guide to show us the way in the labyrinth of the present world; it raises us above time, and teaches us to view all things from the standpoint of eternity.

The sum and substance of the teachings and the achievements of Christ, which may have been interpreted as miracles, were nothing more nor less than FAITH.

We know that his play is always fair, just and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.

- Hugh Ross
Every kind of weather is intensified by warming.
- Barbara Kingsolver
In all the miracles of Jesus recorded in Scriptures, not one of them was done the same way as the previous one.
- Bill Johnson

The mathematical method becomes a philosophy when it asserts that some higher knowledge is needed to explain scientific facts, and that higher knowledge is mathematics.
