Quote examples
Tony Campolo
American Clergyman
While a case can be made for intelligent design, I can't figure out why some Christians are so thrilled about that possibility. First of all, it doesn't prove there's a God. If anything, intelligent design lends support to some form of pantheism that defines God as immanent within nature.
Quote examples
Edmund Husserl
German Philosopher
What is thematically posited is only what is given, by pure reflection, with all its immanent essential moments absolutely as it is given to pure reflection.
Quote examples
Chanakya
Indian Politician
As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what can you do?
