The wise man regulates his conduct by the theories both of religion and science. But he regards these theories not as statements of ultimate fact but as art-forms.
Indeed in view of its function religion stands in greater need of a rational foundation of its ultimate principles than even the dogmas of science.
I also like to look at the dynamic that takes place between religion and science because in a way both are asking the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? The methodologies are diametrically opposed but their motivation is the same the wellspring is the same in both cases.
Go beyond science into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived both inwardly and outwardly.
Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.
The major obstacle to a religious renewal is the intellectual classes who are highly influential and tend to view religion as primitive superstition. They believe that science has left atheism as the only respectable intellectual stance.
When push comes to shove it ain't the science that's going to lift you up-it's the belief the spiritual side of life that's going to lift you up no matter what religion you are.
Science and religion are the two most powerful forces in the world. Having them at odds... is not productive.
Formerly 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.
Skeptical scrutiny is the means in both science and religion by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
