"Knowledge of the sciences is so much smoke apart from the heavenly science of Christ." ― John Calvin Topic(s): Science More From John Calvin "Man’s mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain." "All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors." "No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief." More In Science "Science is a cemetery of dead ideas."― Miguel de Unamuno "You cannot feed the hungry on statistics."― Heinrich Heine "In the post-enlightenment Europe of the 19th century the highest authority was no longer the Church. Instead it was science. Thus was born racial anti-Semitism, based on two disciplines regarded as science in their day – the ‘scientific study of race’ and the Social Darwinism of Herbert Spencer and Ernst Haeckel."― Jonathan Sacks
