Abstract
Sometimes skeptical scientists just need to listen to what the rocks are saying. My graduate school professor, Dr. Steve Austin, was a serious field geologist. But periodically, his childlike delight in exploring God's creation shone through. He taught us to let the rocks and the earth "speak to us," as Job 12:8 (NKJV) said several millennia ago. While on field trips, he would ask us to consider how large boulders ended up on mountain slopes of the Anza Borrego Desert. He would say-and I'm not kidding-"Boulder, boulder on the ground, tell us something really profound!" I learned well from my professor and have come to apply his rhyme not only to boulders but also to small sand grains.
