Jepp, har allerede lest den; synes den inneholder mye bra. Anbefaler spesielt å lese de to kapitlene av Bjørn Are Davidsen, men det meste er
interessant (selv om jeg ikke har helt sansen for Kvalbein..)
Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the
stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and seasons, about the
kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful
and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we
should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn.
-St. Augustin
