Christopher Hitchens Quotes

But The Acknowledging Of One God, Eternal, Infinite, And Omnipotent, May More Easily Be Derived, From The Desire Men Have To Know The Causes Of Natural Bodies, And Their Several Virtues, And Operations; Than From The Fear Of What Was To Befall Them In Time To Come. For He That From Any Effect He Seeth Come To Pass, Should Reason To The Next And Immediate Cause Thereof, And From Thence To The Cause Of That Cause, And Plunge Himself Profoundly In The Pursuit Of Causes; Shall At Last Come To This, That There Must Be, As Even The Heathen Philosophers Confessed, One First Mover; That Is, A First, And An Eternal Cause Of All Things; Which Is That Which Men Mean By The Name Of God: And All This Without Thought Of Their Fortune; The Solicitude Whereof, Both Inclines To Fear, And Hinders Them From The Search Of The Causes Of Other Things; And Thereby Gives Occasion Of Feigning Of As Many Gods, As There Be Men That Feign Them.
