In this book miningful and pertinent quotations of distinguished physicists, chemists, mathematicians , geologists, astronomers, cosmologists, biologists, physicians, and physilogists ,mostly non materialists, and often practicing Christians and Catholic, but some agnostic or atheist, Â are collected.
As noted by Sir William Henry Bragg (1862-1942), a very distinguished Physics Nobel Price winner, ... self defense and self improvement, "that is what science stands for".Â
And he added:
"It is half the battle, I know. There is also the great driving force which we know under the name of religión. From religión comes Man´s purpose; from science his power to achieve it. Some times people ask if religión and science are not opposed to one another. They are: in the sense that the thumb and fingers of my hands are opposed to one another. It is an opossition by means of which anything can be grasped" (Quoted by S. L.Jaki in "The relevance of physics" , Chicago University Press, 1978 )
