A Simply Stunning Quote...

...that took my breath away:

"Now we would like to pursue that inquiry (origins) farther back in time, but the barrier to further progress seems insurmountable. It is not a matter of another year, another decade of work, another measurement, or another theory; at this moment it seems as though science will never be able to raise the curtain on the myster of creation. For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance, he is able to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

~ agnostic physicist Robert Jastrow, from "God and the Astronomers"

Preach it!
