Mehmet Murat IldanReligion is the servant of the vanishing; science, of the existence! Disappearance belongs to the chaos and the Devil; existence, to the God!
About This Quote
This quote is attributed to William Blake and was written to capture the duality of the world we live in. It refers to how we live in a world that has science and science has religion, which means we don’t know everything about anything because there is so much we don’t understand. We will never understand everything, but we must always continue to move forward.
