Pascal is disturbed at certain claims that Chinese antedates
that of the Bible.
History of China - I believe only the
histories, whose witnesses got themselves killed. Which is the more credible
of the two, Moses or China? It is not a question of seeing this summarily. I
tell you there is in it something to blind, and something to
enlighten.
By this one word I destroy all your
reasoning. But China obscures, but there is clearness to be found; seek it.
Pascal, Pensees, 592.
