This is contrary to nature's laws. Electricity should be a latent mystery, but man discovers it and makes it his servant. He wrests the sword from nature's hand and uses it against nature, proving that there is a power in him which is beyond nature, for it is capable of breaking and subduing the laws of nature. If this power were not supernatural and extraordinary, man' s accomplishments would not have been possible. Furthermore, it is evident that in the world of nature conscious knowledge is absent.
Nature is without knowing, whereas man is conscious.
It is evident that virtues are inherent in man which are not present in the world of nature. This is provable from every standpoint. On the other hand, it is evident and true, though most astounding, that in man there is present this supernatural force or faculty which discovers the realities of things and which possesses the power of idealization or intellection. It is capable of discovering scientific laws, and science we know is not a tangible reality. Science exists in the mind of man as an ideal reality.
