This Thing Is But A Puny Imitation Of A Much Grander System Whose Laws You Know, And I Am Not Able To Convince You That This Mere Toy Is Without A Designer Or Maker; Yet You Profess To Believe That The Great Original From Which The Design Is Taken Has Come Into Being Without Either Designer Or Maker! Now Tell Me By What Sort Of Reasoning Do You Reach Such An Incongruous Conclusion?

This Thing Is But A Puny Imitation

Isaac Newton
This Thing Is But A Puny Imitation Of A Much Grander System Whose Laws You Know, And I Am Not Able To Convince You That This Mere Toy Is Without A Designer Or Maker; Yet You Profess To Believe That The Great Original From Which The Design Is Taken Has Come Into Being Without Either Designer Or Maker! Now Tell Me By What Sort Of Reasoning Do You Reach Such An Incongruous Conclusion?

More From Isaac Newton
To Explain All Nature Is Too Difficult A Task For Any One Man Or Even For Any One Age. Tis Much Better To Do A Little With Certainty & Leave The Rest For Others That Come After Than To Explain All Things By Conjecture Without Making Sure Of Any Thing.

That One Body May Act Upon Another At A Distance Through A Vacuum, Without The Mediation Of Any Thing Else, By And Through Which Their Action And Force May Be Conveyed From One To Another, Is To Me So Great An Absurdity, That I Believe No Man, Who Has In Philosophical Matters A Compentent Faculty Of Thinking, Can Ever Fall Into It.

The Other Part Of The True Religion Is Our Duty To Man. We Must Love Our Neighbour As Our Selves, We Must Be Charitable To All Men For Charity Is The Greatest Of Graces, Greater Then Even Faith Or Hope & Covers A Multitude Of Sins. We Must Be Righteous & Do To All Men As We Would They Should Do To Us.
