"Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom;
yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;
seek learning, even by study and also by faith."

Science and Religion

Curtis Hoffman in his book the Seven Story Tower pulls out a couple of interesting quotes from a Scientific American article titled Beyond Physics: Renowned Scientists Contemplate the Evidence for God (August 1998).

"The inability of science to provide a basis for meaning, purpose, value and ethics is evidence of the necessity of religion."

"I have experiences that cannot be expressed in any language other than that of religion.  Whether the myths are historically true or false is not so important."

It would be interesting to track down the article as whole, rather than reading a few cherry picked quotes.  I'd be curious to find out which "renowned scientist" said what.
