Better than we Thought
“How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science
and concluded, “This is better than we thought! The Universe is much
bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant?”
Instead they say, “No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to
stay that way.” A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence
of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw
forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional
faiths.”
