Certainty and Truth

Religion is a safe approximation of a dangerous God.  Science is a rational explanation of a messy universe.  Mathematics is an orderly account of something whose nature is so complex that to look beyond the veil of that certainty would destroy all of man's knowledge.

I now understand why we refuse to understand, why we refuse to look.  Truth is dangerous and inexorable.  God cannot be known as He Himself knows.
