Ronald W. Dworkin Quotes

The Tension Between Religion And Science Is An Old Problem. In The Fourth Century, Christians And Scientists Were Deadlocked Over The Matter Of The Earth's Shape. Saint Augustine, A Wise Man Who Knew The Difference Between The Outer Life And The Inner Life, Wrote: 'What Concern Is It Of Mine Whether Heaven Is Like A Sphere And The Earth Is Enclosed By It And Suspended In The Middle Of The Universe, Or Whether Heaven Like A Disk Above The Earth Covers It Over On One Side? These Facts Would Be Of No Avail For My Salvation.' Augustine Attached Little Importance To Science And Left It Alone. If A Reading Of The Bible Conflicted With A Scientific View That Was Certain Truth, He Humbly Admitted That He Had Interpreted The Bible Erroneously. He Could Afford To Be Humble, For In His Inmost Convictions He Looked Upon Science The Way A Master Looks Upon His Pet, As A Creature With Intelligence But Lacking In Higher Understanding, And Something Irrelevant To The Search For Meaning In Life.
