Where Did the Scientist Find the Theologian?
Robert Jastrow was a well-known and influential astronomer and physicist. He was the founder and director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and a self-described agnostic. He died in 2008. Before he died he wrote this:
"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason,
the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of
ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls
himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who
have been sitting there for centuries."
How amazing is that?
