Do things that will get people asking questions, the answer to which is the Gospel.

I am neither an optimist nor a pessimist. Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.

The necessary precondition for the birth of science as we know it is, it would seem, the diffusion through society of the belief that the universe is both rational and contingent. Such a belief is the presupposition of modern science and cannot by any conceivable argument be a product of science. One has to ask: Upon what is this belief founded?

Christ is the clue to all that is.
