• Sin embargo, son bastante notables las controversias sobre la serie 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - ... cuya suma fue dada por Leibniz como 1/2, aunque otros no están de acuerdo. ... La comprensión de esta cuestión hay que buscarla en la palabra "suma"; esta idea, si se concibe así -a saber, se dice que la suma de una serie es aquella cantidad a la que se aproxima a medida que se toman más términos de la serie- sólo tiene relevancia para las series convergentes, y en general deberíamos renunciar a la idea de suma para las series divergentes.

• Should a priest reject relativity because it contains no authoritative exposition on the doctrine of the Trinity? Once you realize that the Bible does not purport to be a textbook of science, the old controversy between religion and science vanishes . . . The doctrine of the Trinity is much more abstruse than anything in relativity or quantum mechanics; but, being necessary for salvation, the doctrine is stated in the Bible. If the theory of relativity had also been necessary for salvation, it would have been revealed to Saint Paul or to Moses.
