As a man of science I am open to the extraordinary complexity of a universe that is not fully comprehended by any of our “mainstream” schools of religious thought. At the same I am sympathetic to the nearly universal human aspiration to believe in “something” beyond our physical senses and the good that can arise from such faith.. just as the same sort of belief, transformed by bigotry and intolerance, will nurture a host of evils.
If I have learned anything from my nearly 60 years of analyzing and investigating the manifold mysteries of humankind, nature and the universe it is this: NOBODY has all the answers. Anyone who says he or she does is either a fool or a fraud or worse. And despite countless volumes and endless hours of sermons and preaching about religion and morality, no one has ever improved upon the Golden Rule as a basic code of conduct in human affairs.
