"The scientist's condition as a sentinel in the modern world,
as one who is the first to glimpse the enormous complexity together
with the marvellous harmony of reality, makes him a privileged witness
of the plausibility of religion, a man capable of showing how the
admission of transcendence, far from harming the autonomy and the
ends of research, rather stimulates it to continually surpass itself
in an experience of self-transcendence which reveals the human mystery".
- Pope John Paul II, 7/17/85. |
