The Athanasian Creed is to me light and intelligible reading in comparison with much that now passes for science.

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?

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

But perhaps the rest of us could have separate classes in science appreciation, the wonder of science, scientific ways of thinking, and the history of scientific ideas, rather than laboratory experience.

We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.
