Theologian and scientist …

… Homage to Pascal — Thomas J. Scheff. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Pascal went on to say that you can be a good journeyman scientist using only system, and a good everyday artist using only intuition. But to ADVANCE knowledge or art, to progress to something new, you need both. Being systematic seldom, if ever, results in new knowledge, unless it is testing a good idea. And good ideas come from intuition. However, intuitions need be tested; most may be either irrelevant or erroneous.
