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.

If there is any religion that could respond to the needs of modern science, it would be Buddhism.

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.

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

The highest wisdom has but one science - the science of the whole - the science explaining the whole creation and man's place in it.
