In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
John 1:1
"Almost all thinking men who have studied the laws which govern the animate and inanimate world around us, agree that the belief in the existence of one Supreme Creator, possessed of infinite wisdom and power, is open to far less difficulties than the supposition of the
* absence of any cause,
* or of the existence of a plurality of causes."
Charles Babbage, 1864
