Kepler the astronomer prayed, “Almighty God, these are Thy thoughts that I am thinking after Thee.” Isaac Newton called God “The Geometrician.”

Professor Jeans calls God, “The Mathematician.” Eddington, the physicist, calls God, “The Poet.”

Herbert Spencer said, “The First Cause must be independent. It exists in the absence of other existence. It must be in every sense perfect, including within its own power and transcending all law. To use the established word, it must be Absolute.”

Stanley Jones, a great Methodist leader, says, “God is the silent servant of us all—He is the great self-giver back of everything. Therefore, God is the ruler of us all.”

Professor Brunner says, “God is the origin of reason and, therefore, is greater than reason. You can put reason into God, but you cannot put God into reason.

God is the larger box. Therefore, you must add faith.

A God wholly comprehensible to reason would be no God because He would be no greater than our own reason. A God worthy of our worship must be beyond our reason.” Lord Bacon said, “I would rather believe all the fables in the Legend and the Talmud and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a mind. . . . A little philosophy inclineth a man’s mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth about a man’s mind to religion.”

Parks Cadman said, “For me God is that final reality through whom all else exists and without whom nothing else could be.”
