About Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St. Alban KC (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626) was an English philosopher, statesman and essayist. His works argued for the possibility of scientific knowledge based only upon inductive reasoning and careful observation of events in nature. Most importantly, he argued this could be achieved by use of a sceptical and methodical approach whereby scientists aim to avoid misleading themselves. His general idea of the importance and possibility of a skeptical methodology makes Bacon the father of the scientific method. This marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, the practical details of which are still central in debates about science and methodology today.

قد لا أعتقد بجميع القصص و الأساطير التي جاءت بالكتب الدينية ولكن لا يمكن أن أعتقد بعدم وجود عقل مدبر لهذا العالم. إن القليل من الفلسفة ينزع بعقل الإنسان إلى الإلحاد ولكن التعمق فيها ينتهي بعقول الناس إلى الإيمان لأن عقل الإنسان عندما ينظر إلى الأسباب الثانوية المبعثرة قد يتوقف عندها ولا يتجاوزها، ولكن عندما يشاهد تسلسلها و اتحادها، و اتصالها بعضها بعضا ينتهي به ذلك إلى الإيمان بوجود العناية الإلهية.
