ATHEISM

Quote for the Day - June 5,  2010

"A little philosophy

inclineth a man's mind to atheism;

but depth in philosophy

bringeth men's mind about to religion.

For while the mind of men

looketh upon second causes scattered,

it may sometimes rest in them

and go no further;

but when it beholdeth

the chain of them,

confederate and linked together,

it must needs fly to Providence and Deity."

Francis Bacon [1561-1676] in Essays. On Atheism.
