“Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that some spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe, one that is vastly superior to that of man.” (Albert Einstein, answering a little girl’s question whether scientists pray, http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/07/11/do-scientists-pray-einstein-letter-science-religion/)
“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions in the presence of great art or music or literature, or of acts of exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr. The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.” (Carl Sagan http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/06/12/carl-sagan-on-science-and-spirituality/ )
