The Power of Observation

Science is rooted in observation. Intricate tools — like microscopes, telescopes, and spectrometers — have been developed to aid observation. In spite of their high-tech tools and years of effort, scientists will often conclude their reports by saying “more research is needed.” Another way of saying this is “we need to watch longer, to look more closely, in order to understand better.”

Delight in Repetition

Our observations of nature — even a brief gaze at a leafy tree — will teach us that God uses repetition in his handiwork. As G. K. Chesterton famously pointed out, the natural world is so full of repetition (monotony) that we have to think it might tell us something about God’s personality:

Reporting

Remember writing lab reports in school? Depending on your personality — and that of your science teacher — memories of lab reports might make you cringe. Or perhaps they bring back the satisfaction of completing forms with concrete, objective information. The objectivity in reporting is key to useful science.
