From my monster post 1356 (?)....

Agnostic and NASA astronomer Robert Jastrow eloquently expresses the implications of 20th cent. scientific discoveries:

"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock,
he is greeted by a band of theologians [believers!] who have been sitting there for centuries."

And they say to him, "We're stuck. Can you help us?"
