We need not contradict this at all, but we can still say to the representatives of the scientific worldview: There are other things that you do not see, that seem unimportant to you, but which are nevertheless as true as your presuppositions. - Let us take, for example, the fact that man, as he is, is the only being that is able, through his whole structure, to turn his face away from the earth into the celestial space, that he is built to walk upright and to look out into the universe with his face. Let's look at the monkey, the monkey can't do it. And if you read all the tirades of science about the correspondence of the bone and muscle system, the brain in humans and apes, you can say: Quite right, not the slightest objection to it. But the important thing is that you feel it in your heart: The most important thing is that man has managed to be an upright being in his structure.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"24.
