I marvel at this richness of nature and the cleverness of the Being who put it together. It's the province of religious experience and thinking to deal with such yearnings. In teaching chemistry, I never ask students to explain something. I don't think science, in the deepest use of words, ever explains things. I worry that in the heat of an exam, a student will hit a crisis because he or she realizes that science can't explain anything.
Science merely describes.
I tend to see science and religion as alongside one another, rather than in conflict. Many people make the mistake of looking at the Bible and seeing it as a scientific manual. When I look at the Bible, I don't see it as a book about how. Some religious factions, including fundamentalist Christians in this country, have perceived major conflicts between science and religion. Devout scientists, on the other hand, see no clash.
