An incident contained in the above referenced sermon (I am a big fan of the scientists of days past who were also devout Christians).
The resurrection of the dead:
Michael Faraday [1791-1867] was one of the great scientists of all time. One day, being a devout Christian, Michael Faraday referred to the resurrection of the dead, and when he did so, he overheard one of his students sneeringly refer to such an impossible come. And Faraday thereupon took a silver cup, and he put it in a jar of sulphuric acid, and the acid dissolved it and you could see the cup no more. It was absolutely gone. It was in solution, in the sulphuric acid. Then Michael Faraday took a handful of common salt, which is a catalytic agent in that, and he put the common salt in the sulphuric acid, and it precipitated the silver, and it fell in a mass to the bottom.
Michael Faraday took the mass of silver at the bottom and took it to a silversmith, and said, “Make this into a beautiful cup.” And he made it into a beautiful cup. And the next day, Michael Faraday brought it back and held it in his hand and showed it to the class. And he said:
My dear pupils, if I, just a mortal man, can make this cup disappear and dissolve and it’s not seen anymore, then re-gather its elements and fashion it again into a beautiful cup, cannot the Lord God who made heaven and earth gather out of the sea and out of the dust of the ground and out of the heart of this earth our elements, wherever they are, indestructible, gather our elements and refashion us into a glorious body, like unto His body, the Son of God?
