A British testimony...

Sorry guys, actually as some of you know i am an English major and i was reading Tom Jones, by Henry Fielding. There is a passage that really jump out at me after hours and hours and hours...did i mention hours of reading? So i decided to dedicate this blog to it.

!!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!!

if this kind of stuff bores you...please don't be obliged to read just because these words are leading your eyes straight to it "To this I added another study, compared to which all the philosophy taught by the wisest heathens is little better than a dream, and is indeed as full of vanity as the silliest jester ever pleased to represent it. This is the Divine wisdom which alone to be found in the Holy Scripture: for they impart to us the the knowledge and assurance of things much more worthy our attention, than all which this world can offer to our acceptance. Of things which Heaven itself hath condescend to reveal to us, and to the smallest knowledge of which the highest human wit unassited can never ascend. I began now to think of all the times I spent with the best heathen writers, was little more than labour lost: for however pleasant and delightful their lessons may be, or however adequate to the right regulation of our conduct with respect to this world only, yet when compared with the glory revealed in Scriptures, their highest documents will appear as trifling, and of as little consequence as the rule by which children regulate their childish little games and pastime. True it is, that philosophy makes us wiser, but Christianity makes us better men. Philosophy elevates and steels the mind, Christianity softens and sweetens it, the former makes us the subjects of human admiration, the latter of Divine love. That insures us a temporal, but this an eternal happiness"
Book VIII, Chapter 13

I hope that wasn't too boring. Man, i really love how it is put, i need to find something else that compares evolution with Christianity.
