“But in this lies, perhaps, one of its strongest claims to the faith of mankind.”

Source: Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation (1844), p. 203
Context: What mystery is there here—and how shall I proceed to enunciate the conception which I have ventured to form of what may prove to be its proper solution! It is an idea by no means calculated to impress by its greatness, or to puzzle by its profoundness. It is an idea more marked by simplicity than perhaps any other of those which have explained the great secrets of nature. But in this lies, perhaps, one of its strongest claims to the faith of mankind.

“Physical processes alone will never completely explain the existence of the universe, life, and consciousness.”

Peter J. Carroll (1953) British occultist

Context: Physical processes alone will never completely explain the existence of the universe, life, and consciousness. Religious answers are just wishful thinking and wanton fabrication cast over a bottomless pit of ignorance. To explain their occult and mystical experiences, magicians are forced to develop models beyond the scope of materialistic or religious systems.
