The enemy of science is not religion. Religion comes in endless shapes and forms... The true enemy is the substitution of thought, reflection, and curiosity with dogma.

I think one of the great historical contributions of science is to weaken the hold of religion. That's a good thing.

The conflict between religion and science is inherent and (very nearly) zero-sum. The success of science often comes at the expense of religious dogma; the maintenance of religious dogma always comes at the expense of science.

A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless.

We must not confuse religion with God, or technology with science. Religion stands in relationship to God as technology does in relation to science. Both the conduct of religion and the pursuit of technology are capable of leading mankind into evil; but both can prompt great good.

Science has nothing in common with religion. Facts and miracles never did and never will agree.

Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.

Religion and science look at reality differently.

I think one thing is that prayer has become more useful, interesting, fruitful, and... almost involuntary in my life.

I believe that prayer is our powerful contact with the greatest force in the universe.
