Why Consider Religion and Science?

  Why Consider Religion and Science on Our Journey? We are attracted by Truth, Beauty and Goodness.  Religion and Science enlighten and engage us.  They complement one another.
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."  Einstein.  Science reveals the magnificence and the fine tuning of Earth in the Cosmos.  Creation is ongoing.  For believers, this points to an intelligent, unfathomable Creator.
       Many look forward to related discussions at the Annual Springtime American Teilhard Meeting  in NYC.  See
www.teilharddechardin.org which explores and builds on the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J., renowned Jesuit-scientist.
