the 4th Century A.D.
“This most beautiful system of the sun,

planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent Being ... This Being governs all things ... as Lord of all. . . Atheism is so senseless.

His religious ideas got him in trouble because he taught at a church-run university
