Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.

The most important function of art and science is to awaken the cosmic religious feeling
and keep it alive.

Man becomes aware of the sacred because it manifests itself, shows itself as something
wholy different from the profane ...the history of religions...is constituted by a great
number of ..manifestations of sacred realities. ...in each case we are confronted by the
same mysterious act-- the manifestation of something of a wholly different order, a
reality that does not belong to our world, in objects that are an integral part of our
natural "profane" world.
Mircea Eliade, The Sacred and the Profane

solid, durable joy of life. And it is death that provides life with all its meaning. This
"secret" is the central wisdom of religion.
M. Scott Peck, TRLT
