Galileo Galilei:

“Both the Holy Scriptures and nature come from the Divine Word[…] two truths can not contradict each other.”

Mathematics is the language of God

“Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.”

The heavens and the celestial bodies show the great merit of the Creator

“Remembering that the wisdom and power and goodness of the Creator is nowhere as good as in the heavens and the heavenly bodies, we can easily recognize the great merit of who has brought these bodies to our knowledge, and that, despite its almost infinite distance, has presented them easily visible.”

Extracted from the Discourse and mathematical proof, around two new sciences(1638), by Galileo Galilei

“I think that in the discussion of natural problems, we should start not with the scriptures, but with experiments and demonstrations.”

“I do not feel compelled to believe that God has endowed us with intelligence, common sense and reason, if it were to deprive us of use it.”

“All truths are easy to understand, once discovered. The case is to discover them“.
