Eccles. 11:5
5 As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb [1] of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

- In Solomon's day, who knew the processes involved with a baby's development in the womb?
- Even with all of our science, how well do we know how life is formed in the womb?
- How does scientific knowledge replace the power of God for some people?
- How might scientific knowledge diminish the marvel of God's activity, even for Christians?
