Some quotes for science and religion "For
the belief in a single truth is the root cause for all evil in the world." "A
legitimate conflict between science and religion cannot exist. Science
without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." "It
is...idle to pretend, as many do, that there is no contradiction between
religion and science. Science contradicts religion as surely as Judaism
contradicts Islam - they are absolutely and irresolvably conflicting
views. Unless, that is, science is obliged to change it's fundamental
nature." "Science
and religion are two windows that people look through, trying to understand
the big universe outside, trying to understand why we are here. The
two windows give different views, but both look out at the same universe.
Both views are one-sided, neither is complete. Both leave out essential
features of the real world. And both are worthy of respect." "Science
can purify religion from error and superstition; religion can purify
science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into
a wider world, a world in which both can flourish…We need each
other to be what we must be, what we are called to be." "When
religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine;
now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine
for magic." "Science
is an effort to understand the creation. Biblical religion involves
our relation to the Creator. Since we can learn about the Creator from
his creation, religion can learn from science." "He
who has Art and Science also has religion, But those who do not have
them better have Religion." "There
is more RELIGION in men's SCIENCE than there is SCIENCE in their RELIGION." "Science
makes major contributions to minor needs. Religion, however small its
successes, is at least at work on the things that matter most." Religion
is a way of life within a larger framework of meaning." Religion
is poetry plus, not science minus." "Religion
is the art of the poetic. Science is the art of the provable. Politics
is the art of the possible." "Traditional
religious creation stories and evolution are complementary. "Let
no one enter here who does not have faith" "Two
things continue to fill the mind with ever increasing awe and admiration:
“Skeptical
scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep insights
can be winnowed from deep nonsense" “All
religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these
aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from
the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards
freedom.” “Science
investigates religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which
is power religion gives man wisdom which is control.” |
