“this clumsy collision of two very impatient forms of ignorance was known as the quarrel of Science and Religion.”
“Most men's anger about religion is as if two men should quarrel for a lady that neither of them care for.”
“Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals.”
“I think the world will be a better place when science has swept all religions into the dustbin of history. What is religion but a shared belief in things that cannot be known.”
“There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.”
“In the collision between the past and future is a spark known as now.”
