"[...]the power of God and His operation are incomprehensible, and incapable of being reduced to rule, easily producing whatever He wills[...]"

"How does heaven exist? how earth? how sea? how every single thing? For everywhere men's reasoning, perplexed in the attempt at discovery, falls back upon this syllable "how," as those who cannot walk fall back upon a seat. To speak concisely, everywhere the power of God and His operation are incomprehensible, and incapable of being reduced to rule, easily producing whatever He wills, while concealing from us the minute knowledge of His operation." (On the Baptism of Christ, NPNF, p. 520)
