The episode was with Brian Cox (love that guy), and near the end of the show they had the bit (as always) where Bill Nye the Science Guy talks about something. In this case, he was comparing some artwork about the cosmos, to the actual cosmos itself. The artwork he was talking about was wrong in how it had depicted the stars, and he said how you can test it yourself, and know the truth, by looking up at the night sky. Science! He ended it by saying something like: "This is artwork, but the cosmos, is science".
I loved what he said. But it made think of how the cosmos IS Gods artwork. Science is His paint. The laws of all physics. Life. Everything we know, and see (and don't see), is a painting from God. We call it science, but to God, it was Him just being creative, like an artist with his paints. He found it good, and pleasing when He was done. I also wondered if God looks at our understanding of science, as something like the painting that Bill talked about. We think we know a lot, but like the painting, we are likely wrong. However, we use science as a way to attempt to understand the complexity of His painting and creativity.
God says His ways are higher than ours, so it was pretty cool to think that a simple piece of 'artwork' to Him, something spoken into existence in a flash, takes something as incredibly complicated as science for us to even understand. And even then, we only understand a fraction of.
The artwork is to science, what science is to God.
Anyways. It's a great show. Makes you think.
