Mmmm.

Do you agree, Wolfgang, with this premise?

"There is no reason whatsoever to draw battle lines between religion (man's inner search for meaning) and science (man's outer search for observable knowledge)."

Is there an inner search for meaning? What do you think? If so, how would you deal with it? We all know how to deal with outer phenomena (at least I hope so!). We use our five senses, our powers of observation, and the instruments we have invented. Fine. No problem.

But what do we do in order to build an inner sense of meaning about our lives? Many people use religion for that. Are they wrong to do so? If it works for them and hurts no one else, what is the problem?

How can we experience love? How do we achieve a feeling of self-worth? How can we find true intimacy and inner peace? These are things that matter, and I suggest that you cannot resolve them in the laboratory. They are elements of the inner search.
