| Sumario: | Are there parallels between the ""moment of insight"" in science and the emergence of the ""unknowable"" in religious faith? Where does scientific insight come from? Award-winning biologist Robert Pollack argues that an alliance between religious faith and science is not necessarily an argument in favor of irrationality: the two can inform each other's visions of the world.

He considers the obligation to find meaning. |
