The squares of the periodic times are proportional to the cubes of the mean distances from the sun.
Johannes KeplerI believe the geometric proportion served the creator as an idea when He introduced the continuous generation of similar objects from similar objects.
Johannes KeplerGeometry, which before the origin of things was coeternal with the divine mind and is God himself (for what could there be in God which would not be God himself?), supplied God with patterns for the creation of the world, and passed over to Man along with the image of God; and was not in fact taken in through the eyes.
