“I do not believe that any human being has ever been without religion or ever can be.  To feel reverence and awe seems to be one of the inborn instincts of human beings.”

“Science and technology cannot serve as substitutes for religion.  They cannot satisfy the spiritual needs for which religion of all kinds does try to provide, though they may discredit some of the traditional dogmas of the so-called ‘higher’ religions.”

“Historically, religion came first and science grew out of religion. Science has never superseded religion, and it is my expectation that it never will supersede it.”
