And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. Twelve is a number used in the Scriptures to speak of the complete number of God's people. Within that complete number are all different kinds of people. As we study in the Sciences, physical properties show us the diversity of things which have been created. This diversity is seen in the creation as a picture to us of the many members which make up the body of Christ.
Density has practical applications.
Without substances having different densities and different physical and chemical properties, matter would look the same and would all mix together. By virtue of the different physical and chemical properties that God has created, there are different objects and creatures. Copyright 1999 Covenant Christian High School.
