James Jordan on science and art

"Before Adam could begin to rework the Garden, he would have to study and understand it. His scientific investigations would be the foundation for his artistic endeavors, just as God's light preceded his actions. The more he learned about the acidity of the soil, the better gardener he would become. The more he knew about the chemical composition of oils, the better painter he would become."

James Jordan, pg 14 of Primeval Saints
