Ceea ce acum poarta numele de filosofie naturala, cuprinzand intregul cerc al stiintei, unde astronomia ocupa pozitia principala, reprezinta studiul lucrarii lui Dumnezeu si al puterii si intelepciunii lui Dumnezeu din lucrarea Sa, aceasta fiind adevarata teologie. [...] Cat despre teologia studiata acum in locul acesteia, este vorba despre studiul opiniilor si inchipuirilor omenesti despre Dumnezeu.
Thomas Paine (February 9, 1737 [O.S. January 29, 1736] – 8 June 1809) was a British-American political writer, theorist, and activist who had a great influence on the thoughts and ideas which led to the American Revolution and the United States Declaration of Independence. He wrote three of the most influential and controversial works of the 18th Century: Common Sense, Rights of Man, and The Age of Reason. His ideas reflected Enlightenment-era ideals of transnational human rights.

I never tire of reading Tom Paine.
