Extract

Exploring the universe, man discovers more and more of its laws, and, with each new law discovered, his freedom increases. If this sounds complex, that is only because we are thinking of the laws of the universe--God's laws--as though they were like the laws that man makes. Man's laws constrain us only when they are enacted, so that we may feel each new law as a new interference. But when a scientist announces a law of nature, he has not enacted it but only discovered it.
