False education has led mankind to believe that substance is that only which is cognized by the physical senses. Chief among the ills of the human race thereby engendered is that which has given to the definition of medicine a material interpretation.

In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, we read on page 233 : "When numbers have been divided according to a fixed rule, the quotient is not more unquestionable than the scientific tests I have made of the effects of truth upon the sick. The counter fact relative to any disease is required to cure it.

Because he had learned to obey God, Noah and his family dwelt safely within the ark when the rains came and flooded the land.
