“Physics is to be regarded not so much as the study of something a priori given, but rather as the development of methods of ordering and surveying human experience.

“The Creation speaks a universal language, independent of human speech or human language, multiplied and various as they be. It is an ever-existing original, which every man can read. It cannot be forged; it cannot be counterfeited; it cannot be lost; it cannot be altered; it cannot be suppressed.

It preaches to all nations and to all worlds; and this Word of God reveals to man all that is necessary for man to know of God.”
