Don't be simplistic. I'm not, nor is this topic. Some of the impulses,
sentiments, feelings, ideals, ideas behind religions are also to be
found driving humanity in the sciences. That very desire to transcend
that burns so bright in all of us for instance.
I understand it is uncomfortable to think along these lines. I
understand very well as I have fought with such things often in my life.
But do not underestimate the importance of the various images of
Transcendence to the type of work we are embarked on.
