I was merely thinking God's thoughts after Him. Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature, it benefits us to be thoughtful, not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I was merely thinking God's thoughts after Him. Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature, it benefits us to be thoughtful, not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God." in the context of "Google search of the second sentence, in quotes, yields a trio of 2019 books alone, most (there and in following) attributing it to Kepler—e.g., see Prof Basden's 2019 work, Foundations and Practice of Research: Adventures with Dooyeweerd's Philosophy, (1st ed.) chapter: The Complex Activity of Research [§10—4.1 Less-Obvious Pistic Functioning in Research], place: Abingdon-on-Thames, UK, publisher: Taylor & Francis-Routledge, ISBN: 9781138720688, series: Advances in Research Methods, retrieved: February 25, 2020 (page 222).
 While most citations of Kepler have been traced back to a translation of an original work, this quotation appears broadly without any such sourcing (e.g., Basden). Where it is sourced, the sources are either spurious (e.g., to the "New World Encyclopedia", a Paragon House/Unification Church product, wherein it is likewise unsourced), or to such sources as Henry Morris' 1988 creationist work, Men of Science, Men of God: Great Scientists Who Believed the Bible, (21st reprint ed.) place: Green Forest, AR, publisher: Master Books, ISBN: 9780890510803, retrieved: February 25, 2020 (page 21f).
 Until a scholarly source is found that ties these statements to an original text from Kepler, they formally must be considered unattributed to Kepler." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
