Logic is designed to give inevitably true results starting from known true -- or assumed-to-be-true -- premises. Logic is a wonderful tool when we want only logical conclusions. We should not reject such a machine merely because it is not equipped to handle all of reality. The scientist who commits himself to use a logic machine is doing wisely, qua scientist, for use on data of science. But if he feeds into that machine convictions that there is not God, or ignores God because He is not in his corpus of data, and then draws from his logic the conclusion that God does not exist, his conclusion is irrelevant. Logic is a tool; it should not be made into a religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blair has brought to you destruction in central London, and he will bring more of that, God willing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29810]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blair has brought to you destruction in central London, and he will bring more of that, God willing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  When they inquire into predestination, they are penetrating the sacred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  When they inquire into predestination, they are penetrating the sacred precincts of divine wisdom. If anyone with carefree assurance breaks into this place, he will not succeed in satisfying his curiosity and he will enter a labyrinth from which he can find no exit. For it is not right for man unrestrainedly to search out things that the Lord has willed to be hidden in Himself; nor is it right for him to investigate from eternity that sublime wisdom, which God would have us revere but not understand, in order that through this also He should fill us with wonder. He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As clear and as manifest as the nose in a man's face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14850]]></link><description><![CDATA[As clear and as manifest as the nose in a man's face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of our quarrels with others we make rhetoric.

He must make the different parts of the scheme fit into each other; his dexterity is shown, not in detecting facts, but in cutting them square... I hope you will not forget that the Bible is the history of God's acts to men, not of men's thoughts about God. It begins from Him.
