What I'm Thinking and Who Knows What Else

An exercise in vanity in which I experience the fantasy that what I think is interesting to someone.

Great minds think alike

"UNFORTUNATELY, 19th-century scientists were just as ready to jump to the conclusion that any guess about nature was an obvious fact, as were 17th-century sectarians to jump to the conclusion that any guess about Scripture was the obvious explanation . . . . and this clumsy collision of two very impatient forms of ignorance was known as the quarrel of Science and Religion."~G.K. Chesterton: "St. Thomas Aquinas."

"Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves" - Blessed John Paul II
