A leap of faith.
Science is shallow, religion is deep.
This column should have been written long ago. No, you didn't read the leading sentence in this essay wrong. This devoted scientist, who has spent nearly his entire life immersed in the arcanery of science, believes that religion is a MUCH deeper subject than science. Like nearly everyone, I have also been fascinated by religion my entire life. Early on, I became totally disillusioned to most of the answers that organized religions provide, but the questions continue to fascinate me.
