Human Discovery and Revealed Truth

Though the Bible is not a revelation of science, it may be expected to be free from error, and to contain, under reserved and simple language, much concealed wisdom, and turns of expression which harmonise with natural facts, known perfectly to God, but not known to those for whom at first the revelation was designed. This expectation is just; and in both respects the Bible presents a striking contrast to the sacred books of heathen nations.--Anon
