"How wrong it is to use God as a stop-gap for the incompleteness of our knowledge. . . . We are to find God in what we know, not in what we don't know; God wants us to realize his presence, not in unsolved problems but in those that are solved. . . . God is no stop-gap; he must be recognized as the center of life, not when we are at the end of our resources."

-- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

To be a man was to forge ever upward toward the peak of manhood, there to die amid the white snows of that peak.”
