"...what can be more important than science and religion? Science gives us knowledge, and religion gives us meaning. Both are prerequisites of the decent existence.”
Congratulations, Professor Heller! I'm really glad to see someone working to reconcile science and religion for once, rather than trying to drive them deeper apart. It's like that moment at the end of "Inherit the Wind" when Henry Drummond picks up a copy of "Origin of Species" in one hand, a Bible in the other, weighs them thoughtfully for a moment, then shrugs, snaps them together, and puts them both in his briefcase. (If you haven't read or seen the play, I highly recommend it. Reading it was the catalyst for my own reflection on the relationship between science and religion.)
