Where there is an art there is a science. Where there is a science there is an art. Art is feeling – science is fact. Feelings must be combined with facts before anything new, of value, can be created.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:21)
The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel. (Proverbs 12:10)
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creeps on the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. (Genesis 1:30)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
