"The creative science of Galileo"

“A perusal of Galileo’s “Dialogue” should make it clear, except to closed-minded Humeans, that the creative science of Galileo was anchored in his belief in the full rationality of the universe as the product of the fully rational Creator, whose finest product was the human mind, which shared in the rationality of the Creator.”

~Stanley L. Jaki: The Road of Science and the Ways to God, Chap. 7.
