Modern people may no longer make idols in the form of physical images, but their very idea of 'scientific law' is an idolatrous twisting of their knowledge of God. They conceal from themselves the fact that this 'law' is personal and that they are responsible to him. Or they substitute the word 'Nature,' personifying her as they talk glowingly of the works of 'Mother Nature.' But they evade what they know of the transcendence of God over nature.
