How Should Scientists Relate with Mainstream Religions?

Steven Weinberg, a Nobel Laureate in physics, speaks at Beyond Belief '06:



Want more Weinberg? Read this article in which he critiques "Intelligent Design," and in which he writes:

"In an e-mail message from the American Association for the Advancement of Science I learned that the aim of this conference is to have a constructive dialogue between science and religion. I am all in favor of a dialogue between science and religion, but not a constructive dialogue. One of the great achievements of science has been, if not to make it impossible for intelligent people to be religious, then at least to make it possible for them not to be religious. We should not retreat from this accomplishment."

Thanks, Amy!
