Worldview

Using a biblical worldview perspective, Fabre successfully applied the scientific method to investigate the laws of nature,  His worldview is notable from what he said –

“Without Him, I understand nothing; without Him all is darkness… Every period had manias. I regard atheism as a mania. It is a malady of the age. You could take my skin from me more easily than my faith in God.”

“We cannot refrain from proclaiming the necessity of a sovereign Mind, the creator and instigator of order and harmony…to the glory of God the Creator.”
