But my favorite of Einstein's words on religion is "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." I like this because both science and religion are needed to answer life's great questions.

About This Quote

The scientist believes in both science and religion because both are needed to answer life's great questions. Religion cannot answer the question, "Why are we here?" because it doesn't have the scientific answers to that question. Science cannot answer the question, "Why am I?" because it doesn't have any answers for that. The scientist and the religious person both need their own sources of truth if they want to know why they are here.
