"If you don't understand something, and the community of physicists doesn't understand it, that means God did it? Is that how you want to play this game? If that's how you want to invoke your evidence for God, then God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance that's getting smaller and smaller and smaller as time moves on."
-Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson

This is almost as similar as Rousseau.
-
Rousseau's cool
-
...but even in his own humanistic philosophies, he evidently presumed incorrectly.
-
Whereas people like Pascal presumed correctly?
-
How so? I thought he eventually reached a state of depression that caused him to reject his childhood religion. What does he have to do with those that actually believe in theirs?
-
Why would Rousseau have reached the wrong conclusion?
-
Sorry, I was thinking about Voltaire, his contemporary. Don't get me wrong, Rousseau had a lot of issues too, but the main concern that I have against the man was his arrogant, hostile views against Christianity, which is not only exhibited by enthusiastic and often immoral atheists but also through the incoherent spiritualists and always confused agnostics. Voltaire, one of history's most brilliant advocates for atheists, proclaimed that within the next 100 years, the Bible will become nothing more than a relic placed in an old Musuem. How incorrect he was. Ironically, after his death, his home became a publishing house for guess what of all things.[spoiler]Bibles.[/spoiler]
-
Voltaire wasn't even an atheist, ironically. Voltaire found the claims made in the Bible and in Christianity to be absurd, and treated it as a collection of fairytales. He recognized the improbability of the claims made, and discarded them like any other scientifically unsound idea.
-
Oh...well. What was he if he wasn't an atheist?
-
He was a deist (as was most rational at the time of his life, where neither the Theory of Evolution or the Big Bang Theory had come to fruition).
-
Um...doesn't Deist mean "one who believes God exists, but he doesn't accept allegiance; whereas, a theist believes in God and accepts allegiance"?
-
A deist believes that a God created the universe, but plays no active part in its function.
