Religion is very dominant and masculine in its ways. It instructs, defines, demands, and commands. Science is very different from this. Science offers a hard truth that cannot be denied, but is not at all easy to understand most of the time. It must be worked with, devoted to, romanced as a woman would be to gain her favor.
Science is Feminine.
What we call today science was once called Magic. The Hidden, the Secret, the Occult, enticing yet mysterious, desirable yet complicated. How very much like a female. Fascinating and attractive in appearance, and holding within such fantastic possibilities as defy description. The realm of God is that of the Spirit.
