"If we allow the supposition that the darker aspect of the divine was present at the beginning of time as referenced in all current translations of the Bible ("Let us make man in our own image"), then the seed of doubt that leads to such things as atheism can also be seen as a gift, a left-handed blessing that the divine allowed in His creation: how much faith could we put in our faith if that kernel of doubt were not there from the beginning?"
J. Dunlap
We shall not cease from our exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
