Without common grace, everything would collapse with a single, awesome peal of thunder and sink into hell. The fact that everything is still standing... because God's common grace is so omnipotent... Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920)

 

"Without common grace, everything would collapse with a single, awesome peal of thunder and sink into hell. The fact that everything is still standing, and that as it stands it still manifests much beauty, is not because sin is not so terrible or the curse not so awful, but because God's common grace is so omnipotent."

Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920)
Common Grace Vol. 2 (1905)

And "everything is still standing" partly due to the significant subset within Common Grace, that which Science ardently strives to understand, that is to say, the cosmos thus the physical, material realities. Another significant subset within the aforementioned significant subset is, of course, Causality per the innumerable Causes and Effects throughout the Cosmos, insomuch Science ardently strives again to understand the Consistencies for the avoidance of Detriment, for the development of Benefit, ergo for the preservation of Humanity, as Divinely intended.

God's Common Grace is as logically comprehensible by Science, naturally by Reason as graciously common, as it is mysteriously restorative by Theology, scripturally by Revelation as graciously particular. And so it is no surprise if one studies the history of academia, that two axioms were respected and regarded widespread until the late 19th century and (very) early 20th century; firstly Logic, the Science of Sciences, secondly Theology, the Queen of Science. And since the presumptuous, arrogant abandoning of the latter theological axiom, hence safeguards foolishly minimized then eliminated thereby exposed further to avarice, convenience, expedience, politicization, then compromise, corruption, collusion, conspiracy, and more, there occurred the covetous, expeditious abandoning of the former logical axiom incrementally during 20th century then exponentially upon 21st century.

"Collusion o’er wanton infatuation per avid predilection
Such collaboration `fore forcible execution of confiscation
O paralleling the exaction upon erecting the covetousness
Masturbating thy presumptuousness, ejaculating thy boldness"

To note, verse taken from my 12th book Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022).

Finally as God so deemed, Particular Grace divinely proffered within Common Grace's continual preservation of the cosmos thus humanity especially, as understood solely by Revelation per Scripture.
