Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm - not all - that religion used to fill.

Certain it is that a conviction, akin to religious feeling, of the rationality or intelligibility of the world lies behind all scientific work of a higher order.

I see no good reasons why the views given in this volume should shock the religious views of anyone.

It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature.

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
