“L'athéisme est si insensé et odieux pour l'humanité qu'il n'a jamais eu beaucoup de professeurs.”

—  Isaac Newton

Original

Atheism is so senseless & odious to mankind that it never had many professors.

Of Atheism
A short Schem of the true Religion
Contexte: Atheism is so senseless & odious to mankind that it never had many professors. Can it be by accident that all birds beasts & men have their right side & left side alike shaped (except in their bowels) & just two eyes & no more on either side the face & just two ears on either side the head & a nose with two holes & no more between the eyes & one mouth under the nose & either two fore leggs or two wings or two arms on the sholders & two leggs on the hipps one on either side & no more? Whence arises this uniformity in all their outward shapes but from the counsel & contrivance of an Author? Whence is it that the eyes of all sorts of living creatures are transparent to the very bottom & the only transparent members in the body, having on the outside an hard transparent skin, & within transparent juyces with a crystalline Lens in the middle & a pupil before the Lens all of them so truly shaped & fitted for vision, that no Artist can mend them? Did blind chance know that there was light & what was its refraction & fit the eys of all creatures after the most curious manner to make use of it? These & such like considerations always have & ever will prevail with man kind to believe that there is a being who made all things & has all things in his power & who is therfore to be feared.

“L’humanité se prend beaucoup trop au sérieux; c’est le péché originel du monde. Si les hommes des cavernes avaient su rire, l’Histoire serait bien différente.”

Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the cave-man had known how to laugh, History would have been different.
