New foot finally turned up, confirmed visibility is a good thing. Shocking. Starting with the tedious bits this round. Not as cumbersome as a twin but still awkward AF. Gonna be a long week.
The bible of the creation is inexhaustible in texts. Every part of science, whether connected with the geometry of the universe, with the systems of animal and vegetable life, or with the properties of inanimate matter, is a text as well for devotion as for philosophy; for gratitude, as for human improvement. It will perhaps be said, that if such a revolution in the system of religion take place, that every preacher ought to be a philosopher. Most certainly; and every house of devotion, a school of science.
~Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, Part Two, 1794.
