(4:13) Lewis describes this type of 'scientific' wiseacre (smart alec), who attributes everything to ‘the laws of nature’, but doesn’t look behind the laws, here: “God creates the vine and teaches it to draw up water by its roots and, with the aid of the sun, to turn that water into a juice which will ferment and take on certain qualities. Thus every year, from Noah's time (Genesis 9.20) till ours, God turns water into wine. That, men fail to see. Either like the Pagans they refer the process to some finite spirit, Bacchus (the Roman wine god) or Dionysus (the Greek wine god) [or African god Nyonga]: or else, like the moderns, they attribute real and ultimate causality to the chemical and other material phenomena which are all that our senses can discover in it. But when Christ at Cana makes water into wine, the mask is off (John 2.1-11). The miracle has only half its effect if it only convinces us that Christ is God: it will have its full effect if whenever we see a vineyard or drink a glass of wine we remember that here works He who sat at the wedding party in Cana..." (Essay, ‘Miracles’). More notes in the video description above.

I’ve read this essay several times and the illustrations helped me understand much better what Lewis meant by “looking along” something. Kudos!

Lewis never fails to impress with the clarity of both his thinking and explaining.
