Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors. Can it be by accident that all birds, beasts, and men have their right side and left side alike shaped (except in their bowels) and just two eyes and no more on either side the face and just two ears on either side the head and a nose with two holes and no more between the eyes and one mouth under the nose and either two forelegs or two wings or two arms on the shoulders and two legs on the hips, one on either side and not more? Whence arises this uniformity in all their outward shapes, but from the counsel and contrivance of an Author? Whence is it that the eyes of all sorts of living creatures are transparent to the very bottom, and the only transparent members in the body, having on the outside an hard transparent skin, and within transparent juices with a crystalline lens in the middle and a pupil before the lens; all of them so truly shaped and fitted for vision that no artist can mend them? Did blind chance know that there was light and what was its refraction and fit the eyes of all seeing creatures after the most curious manner to make use of it? these, and such like considerations always have and ever will prevail with mankind to believe that there is a Being who made all things and has all things in His power and Who is therefore to be feared. - Sir Isaac Newton
