ATHEISM
but depth in philosophy
looketh upon second causes scattered,
it must needs fly to Providence and Deity."
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.
