Swedenborg made significant contributions to science, particularly in the fields of chemistry, mineralogy, and electricity. His ideas had a profound impact on later science and philosophy. more

I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.”
