Secondly, I'm trying to find the accurate origin of a quote I have in my
letter:
"God wrote two books: the first is the bible… and the second is the book of
nature, which allows humans to observe and experience nature and to answer
questions about the universe."
I have found this quote attributed to both Galileo (from a letter to
somebody) and to St. Francis of Assisi. And I've seen the wording changed
slightly at different places (of course, it was originally written/spoken in
a different language so the translation may be the only difference). If
anyone knows the accurate source and author for this quote please let me
know! Thanks!! :)
In Christ,
Wendee
