Quote by Gerald Kersh
I can't believe in the God of my Fathers. If there is one Mind which understands all things, it will comprehend me in my unbelief. I don't know whose hand hung Hesperus in the sky, and fixed the Dog Star, and scattered the shining dust of Heaven, and fired the sun, and froze the darkness between the lonely worlds that spin in space.
Summary
This quote reflects a personal disbelief in the traditional concept of God inherited from one's ancestors. The speaker suggests that if there exists a supreme intelligence that encompasses all knowledge, it should encompass their skepticism as well. They admit to lacking knowledge about the creator of celestial phenomena like Hesperus and the Dog Star, the arrangement of heavenly bodies, and the dynamics of the vast universe. This expresses a sense of wonder, curiosity, and an acknowledgment of the limitations of personal understanding in the face of cosmic mysteries.
