Random quote of the day:
“The debate between faith and reason is a false one. Science and religion don’t occupy the same turf. Saying, “Now that we have science, there is no reason for religion†is like saying, “Now that we have the microwave oven, we have no use for Shakespeare.†We need both, of course. Only then can we lead fully rounded lives.â€
