"Daher denn auch der Mathematiker seine Formelsprache so hoch steigert, uns, insofern es möglich, in der meßbaren und zählbaren Welt die unmeßbare mitzubegreifen. Nun erscheint ihm alles greifbar, faßlich und mechanisch, und er kommt in den Verdacht eines heimlichen Atheismus, indem er ja das Unmeßbarste, welches wir Gott nennen, zugleich mitzuerfassen glaubt und daher dessen besonderes oder vorzügliches Dasein aufzugeben scheint."
