Quote by Robert J. Marks II

Saying the Bible is not a book about science is like saying a cookbook is not a book about chemistry.

Saying the Bible is not a book about science is like saying

Summary

This quote highlights that just as a cookbook utilizes chemistry principles to explain cooking processes without being a comprehensive textbook on chemistry, the Bible employs narratives, metaphors, and symbolic language to convey spiritual and moral truths rather than providing detailed scientific explanations. It emphasizes that the Bible should be approached as a religious and philosophical guide, rather than a scientific manual, helping individuals understand life's purpose, human nature, and the relationship between humanity and the divine. By acknowledging this distinction, one can appreciate the unique value and purpose of the Bible's teachings without expecting it to address scientific matters in a literal sense.

Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don't want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience; indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.

The river itself portrays humanity precisely, with its tortu

The river itself portrays humanity precisely, with its tortuous windings, its accumulation of driftwood, its unsuspected depths, and its crystalline shallows, singing in the Summer sun. Barriers may be built across its path, but they bring only power, as the conquering of an obstacle is always sure to do. Sometimes when the rocks and stone-clad hills loom large ahead, and eternity itself would be needed to carve a passage, there is an easy way around. The discovery of it makes the river sing with gladness and turns the murmurous deeps to living water, bright with ripples and foam.
