Faith and science, I have learned, are two sides of the same coin, separated by an expanse so small, but wide enough that one side can't see the other. They don't even know they're connected. Father and Lily were two sides of the same coin, I've decided, and maybe I am the space in between. Mary E. Pearson
About This Quote

Faith can be defined as "the belief in divine or superhuman powers." The word "science" comes from the Latin word "scientia" meaning knowledge. Father and Lily are both people who have faith in something they do not understand. Father is a priest, but he prays to a God he doesn't understand. Lily is a scientist, but she relies on her own intuitions to work out how the universe works. They are two sides of the same coin, I've decided - they are connected at some level that is so small that they don't know it exists.
