Quote of the Day (C. V. Wedgwood, on the Past Quest for Certainties)

“Men wanted certainties, not more causes for doubt, and since the discoveries of science perplexed them with strange theories about the earth on which they walked and the bodies they inhabited, they turned with all the more zeal to the firm assurances of religion.”― English historian C. V. Wedgwood (1910-1997), The Thirty Years War (1938)
