It was true that Aristotle and philosophy and reason could take us to the top of a very high mountain. But what then? They could not fashion wings for us, with which we could fly the rest of the way to God. They would leave us stranded on the top of the mountain. We could stretch and strain all we liked, but we would never touch the blueness of the sky itself. God must bring the sky to us, and therefore it must be divine revelation initiated by God to bridge this most unbridgeable of all gulfs.
