Louis Agassiz Quotes About Belief

• Le diré francamente que mi experiencia en prolongadas investigaciones científicas me convence de que la creencia en Dios -un Dios que está detrás y dentro del caos de los puntos de fuga del conocimiento humano- añade un maravilloso estímulo al hombre que intenta penetrar en las regiones de lo desconocido.
