Quote: Rationalism, Science, and Revelation

So true.

I suppose that every age has its own particular fantasy:
ours is science. A seventeenth-century man like Blaise Pascal,
who thought himself a mathematician and scientist of genius,
found it quite ridiculous that anyone should suppose that
rational processes could lead to any ultimate conclusions
about life, but easily accepted the authority of the
Scriptures. With us, it is the other way `round.
Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990), Jesus Rediscovered [1969]
