“We have been vouchsafed four powerful and profound
scientific theories since the great scientific revolution of the West was set
in motion in the seventeenth century – Newtonian mechanics, James Clerk Maxwell’s
theory of the electromagnetic field, special and general relativity, and
quantum mechanics...These splendid artifacts of the human imagination have made
the world more mysterious than it ever was.
We know better than we did what we do not know and have not
grasped. We do not know how the universe
began. We do not know why it is there.”
- David
Berlinski, The Devil’s Delusion: Atheism
and Its Scientific Pretensions (xiv-xv)
