How do we know that "No two snowflakes are alike"?

We know because William Bentley published a book of over 2,400 snowflake images in 1931. Using his own miscroscope camera, Bentley was fascinated by snowflakes and humbly studied them in his barn/laboratory in Jericho, Vermont for most of his adult life. He was inspired by the reference in Job 38 to "treasures of the snow," and later said, "...the intricacies of God's design in the world can be seen...God uses his creation to declare his glory to us."   

We live in an age when many swear by "science," and scoff at "faith," but it has not always been so.  You can read more about "Snowflake Bentley," as he is now known, here
