"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
- Albert Einstein
"It is...idle to pretend, as many do, that there is no contradiction between religion and science. Science contradicts religion as surely as Judaism contradicts Islam - they are absolutely and irresolvably conflicting views. Unless, that is, science is obliged to change it's fundamental nature."
- Brian Appleyard
"Science and religion are two windows that people look through, trying to understand the big universe outside, trying to understand why we are here. The two windows give different views, but both look out at the same universe. Both views are one-sided, neither is complete. Both leave out essential features of the real world. And both are worthy of respect."
- Freeman Dyson
"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is the belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."
- Richard Dawkins
"Science is an effort to understand the creation. Biblical religion involves our relation to the Creator. Since we can learn about the Creator from his creation, religion can learn from science."
- Paul H. Carr
"Science makes major contributions to minor needs. Religion, however small its successes, is at least at work on the things that matter most."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
"For the belief in a single truth is the root cause for all evil in the world."
- Max Born
