Not sure I agree. Science seems quite potent and capable without religion.
Given the scathing comments Einstein made elsewhere about theistic religions and the afterlife, I suspect that by 'religion' he meant our moral and spiritual inclinations.Not sure I agree. Science seems quite potent and capable without religion.
Also, Einstein view of proper religion doesnt allow for many of the factual claims that traditional views of religion depend on. He says:
"For science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary. Religion, on the other hand, deals only with evaluations of human thought and action: it cannot justifiably speak of facts and relationships between facts."

Yes.....and?
Yes.....and?
That quote is taken out of context. In that sentence he does not mean "religion" as it is used by most people. If one read the entire essay that it came from it would be clear that he was talking more about a sense of purpose and right and wrong when he said "religion" rather than a belief in any god, which he thought was extremely unreasonable. Here is a link to the second page of the essay where the quote can be found:Not sure I agree. Science seems quite potent and capable without religion.

If you can read it carefully.
It explains how cutting edge and innovative, christian morality and humanitarian efforts to help the poor, are from a historical perspective.
Vast contributions made to the world by christian morality usually go unacknowledged.
Luckily for us, Einstein recognizes said contributions and knows science would be lame without them.
But that's not science though. That's got nothing to do with science.
Also, I think you need to really explain what you mean by science quotes: do you means about science from anyone, or quotes from science, thus from scientists?
Anything people think is good & would like to share is fine by me.
I dont think youve shown that the moral evolution of the Jews is necessary for scientific endeavor to be robust.If you can read it carefully.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
