Unless this evolutionary hypothesis is thought to be compatible with theism, the conviction that the supreme power of the universe is a personal, purposive, just and loving power will fade. The religious drive of people will lead them to bring their lives into harmony with a different kind of power.

Further, I pointed out [in Le Monde] what are the laws of Nature, and, without resting my reasons on any other principle, than the infinite perfections of God, I tried to demonstrate all those of which one could have any doubt, and to show that they are of such a nature that even if God had created other worlds, he could not have created any in which these laws would fail to be observed.

Réne Descartes

Darwin gave us time.

Annie Dillard

...the most terrible of mysteries, the father of them all.

Miguel de Unamuno

We should at least consider the possibility, suggested so forcibly by physics, that time is not merely an attribute of being but rather its pith and substance.

Robert Grudin

What is being asserted is that time has its own genesis and evolution.
