Clark and Jain write,

While we do not wish to cultivate skepticism in our students, neither do we wish to cultivate dogmatic scientism. We can make better sense of all this by recovering the language of formal cause and Causa Exemplaris. It will allow us to return to a natural science which both affirms God's covenantal presence and seeks to think his thoughts after him. It avoids the scientific determinism so prominent in the way science is conceived today. It is in this manner that a return to discussion of the four causes can lead to many profound and important conversations in biblical theology and ultimately culminate in worship.

Light is the eternality of God
Accommodating and approximating
The limits of our finitude;
It is the originator of time
Apart from which there would not be
Any shadow due to change
And in which there is no change
Or shadow thereof;
It is the truest dimension
As the primordial producer of
The danced duet of space and time;
Light is and God is Light,
In whom no darkness dwells,
Nor can dwell, lest there be no stable nexus
Of the God of Light with man,
And thus no worthy image to be borne or seen;
Light is that which drives away the dark
And draws us from the dark in us,
Intent not merely on our transformation
But on transfiguration as its glory lifts us up
From one degree unto another,
Making us as resolute and pure
As the first Photon of God,
Perfected by holy luminosity so that
WE ARE as I AM,
Eternalized by the Eternal,
Glorified by the King of Glory,
Infinitized by the Infinite:
          Awake, O Sleeper, rise and
          Let Christ shine on you.

Schaeffer writes:

Democracy, freedom without chaos, as we know it in northern Europe, was built on the Reformation and it has not existed anywhere else, and this included the small city states in Greece long ago. This cannot be built or last long without the position outlined in Samuel Rutherford's Lex Rex. When one removes the Bible in which God has spoken propositionally and the resulting Christian consensus, freedom without chaos will not long remain. It can't. Something will take its place, and it will be one of the elites.
