“There are two books laid before us to study, to prevent our falling into error; first, the volume of the Scriptures, which reveal the will of God; then the volume of the Creatures, which express His power.”
~Sir Francis Bacon, developer of the scientific method
AND (on the title page of the Origin of the Species, no less)
“To conclude, therefore, let no man . . . think or maintain that a man can search too far or be too well studied in the book of God’s word, or in the book of God’s works; divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavor an endless progress or proficience in both.”
~Sir Francis Bacon also
