Such a gift, so poorly used, this mind of ours. It ought to be nurtured by organized churches and applied to rationalize how the bible, or tomes of other faiths, as stories or allegory or even truth do not stand in opposition to the mind's fantastic ability to learn new things. The scientist should say to organized religion: “Lead, follow, or get out of the way.” For instance, most scientists, I would dare guess, favor a human population that is not birthing itself into dire need or even oblivion. I believe spirituality and the mind (science) are not incompatible, but the (human) rules of most churches are incompatible with greater enlightenment. Universities should be able to teach whatever the mind can concoct, in a proper context of non-indoctrination and with respect for kindness.

He writes "Entranced by an exclusive reliance on technology, reason without faith is doomed to flounder in an illusion of its own omnipotence. Faith without reason risks being cut off from everyday life." Fundamentalism is the latter and Scientism is the former. Since in both cases reason is abdicated, it fools us into experiencing "heaven" when it is really a hell of our own making.
