Quote for the Day II

"I was recently asked to speak at a Catholic college at a symposium on science and religion… I discovered that I had been assigned the title Science Enriching Faith. In spite of my initial qualms, the more I thought about the title, the more rationale I could see for it. The need to believe in a divine intelligence without direct evidence is, for better or worse, a fundamental component of many people’s psyches. I do not think we will rid humanity of religious faith any more than we will rid humanity of romantic love or many of the irrational but fundamental aspects of human cognition … they are no less real and perhaps no less worthy of some celebration when we consider our humanity," – Lawrence Krauss debating Richard Dawkins, at Scientific American.
