The underlying first principle of science is the the Universe is understandable.

In practice, that it can be understood by a human-range IQ.

It remains to be seen if this is the case.

Speaking of pagan classics -
Reading Rudyard Kipling's "Kim" - the first three chapters are like a Canterbury Tales/Huckleberry Finn amalgam - damndest thing I've ever seen

Absolutely, this should help Christians everywhere to lose their faith. Bible scholars have removed faith in the absolute authority of the word of God. Of course Pagan philosophers are the ticket!

Oh, by the way . . .

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:6-9).

What would God do with fools?
