Science only answers the question, How does it work? Or at most, What's there? Science asks what and how, philosophy asks why, myth and religion ask who. Who's in charge here? Who's the author? That's what we really long to know.

More quotes by Peter Kreeft
Pride looks down, and no one can see God but by looking up.
Peter Kreeft
It is closer to the truth to say that God is crazy than that God is reasonable. I suspect God merely smiles when someone calls him crazy, but shakes His head and frowns when someone calls Him reasonable.
Peter Kreeft
We can't believe what we believe to be untrue, and we can't love what we believe to be unreal.
Peter Kreeft
If a person claims to have met Jesus without being changed then they have not met the real Jesus.
Peter Kreeft
Americans' deepest religion is often equality. The notion that Christ alone is God-superior, authoritative, supernatural-and that Christ's teaching and person is far greater than Buddha's, or Muhammad's, or Moses's, no matter how much great and good wisdom may be contained in those others, is scandalous.
Peter Kreeft
Other religions are stories of man's search for God. The Bible is the story of God's search for man.
Peter Kreeft
To worship a crocodile is better to worship yourself.
Peter Kreeft
Being a Christian is more like having your soul possessed by a spirit than having your mind clothed with new beliefs... It is like being haunted by the Holy Ghost.
Peter Kreeft
Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts.
Peter Kreeft
A saint isn't somebody who tries harder, but someone who trusts more.
Peter Kreeft
Trusting God's grace means trusting God's love for us rather than our love for God. [...] Therefore our prayers should consist mainly of rousing our awareness of God's love for us rather than trying to rouse God's awareness of our love for him, like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:26-29).
Peter Kreeft
A man walking through a wall is a miracle. A man both walking and not walking through a wall at the same time and in the same respect is a contradiction. God can perform miracles but not contradictions - not because his power is limited, but because contradictions are meaningless.
Peter Kreeft
The national anthem of hell is, I Did It My Way.
Peter Kreeft
Most theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.
Peter Kreeft
The best answer to the problem of evil is not one so much found on paper but on wood.
Peter Kreeft
The deepest healing is the healing of the deepest wound. The deepest wound is the frustration of the deepest need. The deepest need is the need for meaning, purpose, and hope.
Peter Kreeft
Money can buy everything money can buy, which is just a lot of stuff.
Peter Kreeft
A pure heart means a single heart, a heart in which only one desire lives: love.
Peter Kreeft
Not all Tolkien haters are Orcs, but all Orcs are Tolkien haters.
Peter Kreeft
If you truly love God and His will, then doing what you will, will, in fact, be doing what God wills.
