But you did not know that as soon as man rejects miracles, he will at once reject God as well, for man seeks not so much God as miracles. And since man cannot bear to be left without miracles, he will go and create new miracles for himself... Oh, there will be centuries of free reason, of their science and anthropophagy...

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky

It's just a shell hiding nothing but shadows and emptiness. ↗
