A theory is the more impressive the greater is the simplicity of its premises, the more different are the kinds of things it relates and the more extended the range of its applicability.
~ Albert Einstein - [Theory]

As the grace grows nearer my theology is growing strangely simple, and it begins and ends with Christ as the only Savior of the lost.
~ Henry Benjamin Whipple - [Theology]

Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain, gaining new and wider views, discovering unexpected connections between our starting points and its rich environment. But the point from which we started out still exists and can be seen, although it appears smaller and forms a tiny part of our broad view gained by the mastery of the obstacles on our adventurous way up.
~ Albert Einstein - [Theory]

Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of all men than all the infidelity that has ever been spoken.
~ George Macdonald - [Theology]

In order to shake a hypothesis, it is sometimes not necessary to do anything more than push it as far as it will go.
~ Denis Diderot - [Theory]

It is not enough for theory to describe and analyze, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.
~ Jean Baudrillard - [Theory]

It is theory that decides what can be observed.
~ Albert Einstein - [Theory]

It's the generally accepted privilege of theologians to stretch the heavens, that is the Scriptures, like tanners with a hide.
~ Desiderius Erasmus - [Theology]

Let us put theology out of religion. Theology has always sent the worst to heaven, the best to hell.
~ Robert Green Ingersoll - [Theology]

My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed.
~ Christopher Morley - [Theology]
