Hart

I love how hart describes nature.  On page 47 he says "Nature for us is a single, internally consistent thing, an event, lovely and inciting, then terrible and pitiless, abundant and destructive at once, but moved neither by will nor by intelligence; it is sheer fact." I think this is so cool because of how much power it gives nature. When nature is described in such terms, however, it's not really nature itself which I perceive to hold the power, but the one who created the nature. Our "creative and redemptive" God who is so powerful and awesome that he created such a nature that in it's own sense holds tremendous power, independent of humans. Regardless of what we do, nature will always do it's own thing, reminding us just how small we really are.
