Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or evidence:

    Theology, I am persuaded, derives its initial impulse from a religious wavering; for there is quite as much, or more, that is mysterious and calculated to awaken scientific curiosity in the intercourse with God, and it [is] a problem quite analogous to that of theology.

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
