"SCIENCE found its only viable birth within a cultural matrix permeated by a firm conviction about the mind’s ability to find in the realm of things and persons a pointer to their Creator. All great creative advances of science have been made in terms of an epistemology germane to that conviction, and whenever that epistemology was resisted with vigorous consistency, the pursuit of science invariably appears to have been deprived of its solid foundation." ~Stanley L. Jaki: The Road of Science and the Ways to God.
