"Jesus Christ, without riches and without any external exhibition of knowledge, is in His own order of holiness. He did not invent; He did not reign. But He was humble, patient, holy, holy to God, terrible to devils, without any sin. Oh! in what great pomp and in what wonderful splendour He is come to the eyes of the heart, which perceive wisdom!"
Blaise Pascal
" This thing [a scale model of our solar system] is but a puny
imitation of a much grander system whose laws you know, and I am not
able to convince you that this mere toy is without a designer and maker;
yet you, as an atheist, profess to believe that the great original from
which the design is taken has come into being without either designer
or maker! Now tell me by what sort of reasoning do you reach such an
incongruous conclusion?"
Sir Isaac Newton
"I have been blamed by men of science, both in this country and in England,
for quoting the Bible in confirmation of the doctrines of physical geography.
The Bible, they say, was not written for scientific purposes, and is
therefore no authority in matters of science. I beg pardon! The Bible
is authority for everything it touches....The Bible is true and science
is true, and therefore each, if truly read, but proves the truth of the
other."
Matthew Maury
