Ljubitelj sam naučne metode kao koncepta, i izuzetno mi je žao da vidim žestoko pametne i obrazovane ljude da sebe srozavaju do nivoa deteta i romantizuju aktuelne religije za ko zna kakve potrebe, pa da apsolutno batale "scientific method" kao svetinju koju svaki naučnik treba da ima u malom prstu. Takođe mi je žao što će neki pop/hodža/rabin da stoji pored takvih velikih ljudi na istom nivou, a da, gledajući realno, nisu ni do peta ijednom ozbiljnom naučniku.
Ako je tako, pripremi se za cudne paradokse i velika iznenadjenja:

Recimo, Darwin:
Citat:
"The impossibility of conceiving that this grand and wondrous universe, with our conscious selves, arose through chance, seems to me the chief argument for
the existence of God."
Carl Sagan
Citat:
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...The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."
Isaac Asimov
Citat:
"Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time"
Albert Einstein
Citat:
Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe - a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is indeed quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive
Max Planck
Citat:
"It was not by accident that the greatest thinkers of all ages were deeply religious souls.
Erwin Schroedinger
Citat:
"I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is very deficient. It gives a lot of factual information, puts all our experiences in a magnificently consistent order, but is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us a word about red and blue, bitter and sweet, physical pain and physical delight; it knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, god and eternity."
William H. Bragg
Citat:
"From religion comes a man's purpose; from science, his power to achieve it. Sometimes people ask if religion and science are not opposed to one another. They are: in the sense that the thumb and fingers of my hands are opposed to one another. It is an opposition by means of which anything can be grasped."
Wernher fon Braun
Citat:
"I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science."
Nevill Mott
Citat:
"Science can have a purifying effect on religion, freeing it from beliefs of a pre-scientific age and helping us to a truer conception of God. At the same time, I am far from believing that science will ever give us the answers to all our questions."
Fred Hoyle
Citat:
"A commonsense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question."
Sam Harris
Citat:
"Atheism is not a philosophy; it is not even a view of the world; it is simply a refusal to deny the obvious."
Ne znam sta ce misliti bilo ko ko se bavio elektrotehnikom kad shvati da je James Clerk Maxwell

bio izuzetno religiozan covek, i po ubedjenju i po praktikovanju religije.
Da stvari budu gore, i 'svetski a nas' Nikola Tesla kaze

Citat:
The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power
Citat:
When we recognize this, we cannot help wondering how profoundly wise and scientific and how immensely practical the Christian religion is
Ono boldovano (deo Einstein-ove izjave) bi trebalo da rascisti dosta toga. Razumljivo je da se bojis
zaostalih propagatora religije i i da ti se gade kako pod paskom religije sprovode neke svoje prizemne
interese (materijalne, vlast, itd). Medjutim, religija, religijski postulati - sustina koja se izdvoji kad se
procita masa knjiga (a ne samo jedna jedina glavna knjiga) i kad se dobro razmisli o cemu se tu radi -
to se ne gasi. Primitivci, nedorasli, bahati, nesuvisli, inkvizicije...i ostale bezvezne implementacije - oni
vremenom otpadaju.
Slicno kao sto kosarka kao igra nece propasti zato sto negde neko vise ne ume da taj koncept implementira
kako treba. Uvek neko ostane ko se dohvati dobre ideje na pravi nacin i stvari izvede na smislen nacin.
