“When art seems to be empty of meaning, as no doubt some of the abstract painting of our own day actually does seem, what the painting says, indeed what the artist is shrieking at the top of his voice, is that life has become empty of all rational content and coherence, and that, in times like these, is far from a meaningless statement.” DoeArtSeemsArtistVoiceDoubtPaintingEmptyStatementsRationalAbstractNo DoubtMeaninglessCoherenceAbstract PaintingTimes Like These Book:Art and Technics Source: Art and Technics

“When a scientist doesn't know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant. When he has a hunch as to what the result is, he is uncertain. And when he is pretty darn sure of what the result is going to be, he is still in some doubt. We have found it of paramount importance that in order to progress we must recognize our ignorance and leave room for doubt. Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty - some most unsure, some nearly sure, but none absolutely certain.” KnowsStillsProblemBodyCertainOrderFoundAnswersRoomsResultsDoubtProgressIgnoranceDegreesScientistImportanceStatementsIgnorantUncertaintyUncertainParamountUnsureHunchesScientific KnowledgeUncertainty And Doubt Author:Richard P.

“What is the result of our investigation of the Moslem idea of God? Is the statement of the Koran true, "Your God and our God is the same"? In as far as Moslems are monotheists and in as far as Allah has many of the attributes of Jehovah we cannot put Him with the false gods. But neither can there be any doubt that Mohammed's conception of God is inadequate, incomplete, barren and grievously distorted. It is vastly inferior to the Christian idea of the Godhead and also inferior to the Old Testament idea of God.” IdeasChristianResultsDoubtStatementsConceptionAttributesInvestigationInferiorsTestamentInadequateIncompleteOld TestamentBarrenJehovahFalse Gods Author:Samuel Marinus Zwemer
