Yes very true. A poem for you. Ada and me and Charles Babbage to Just friends having a beer Here is Ada's song I'll sing it for you. She said she learned to view mathematical science as a vast ocean of intrinsic beauty, symmetry and logical completeness. Thinking God's thoughts after Him as it were. The  language of science expresses the great facts of the natural world. Yes, just Ada and me and Charles Babbage to Friends having a beer Here is Ada's song, but she is awfully wordy And beautiful to She sang, through the scientific study of those unceasing changes of mutual relationship which, visibly or invisibly, consciously or unconsciously to our immediate physical perceptions, are interminably going on in the agencies of the creation we live amidst, we may catch a glimpse of the foundation our Creator's works, and translate these principles into explicit practical forms. Whew! Just Ada and me, and Charles Babbage to Just friends having a beer And I asked her, how did you come about To this remarkable view? She said, she learned in her teens, that God teaches in the Bible, a higher call And the void in our hearts for want of excitement can be filled with quenching our thirst to understand science Yes!, Understanding science is a form of excitement, that can truly enthrall! And then she quoted what her wonderful mentor, Mary Somerville wrote in her book "The Connection of the Physical Sciences" "As complimentary to studying the scriptures is the contemplation through science of the works of creation, as it also elevates the mind to whatever is great and noble; accomplishing the object of all study, which, as famously said,  is to inspire the love of truth, of wisdom, of beauty- especially of goodness, the highest beauty- preparing the minds of men and women for the high destinies appointed to them by God." Ada and me and Charles Babbage too Just friends having a beer Here is my song I'll sing it for you. Thus blending Bible light with Reason's ray We train the immortal part for destinies Appointed by the Maker, day by day We rise above the dust, and fix our eyes On those high mountains where no shadow lies As Ada and Charles, saw in the future human minds writing the software for artificial intelligence Ne're forget dear souls, who wrote the software for the human minds And who wrote the justice, meaning and free will that exists above our nature And makes all the difference for our eternal future.
