It is one of the greater yet sadder ironies of the modern world that Bacon, who is considered one of the founders of its science, is used only to point the way to materialism. He himself says in one of his "Essays" that "a little philosophy bringeth men's minds to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion."
