Text Quotes
The world changed from having the determinism of a clock to having the contingency of a pinball machine  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) Theoretical and experimental physicists are now studying nothing at all-the vacuum. But that nothingness contains all of being  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) Science is expanding, and with it our vision of the universe. although this new and constantly changing view may not always give us comfort, it does have the virtue of truth according to our most effective resources for acquiring knowledge. No philosophy, moral outlook, or religion can be inconsistent with the findings of science and hope to endure among educated people  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) Science shows us what exists but not what to do about it  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) I like to browse in occult bookshops if for no other reason than to refresh my commitment to science  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) Stars are like animals in the wild. We may see the young but never the actual birth, which is a veiled and secret event  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) A good simulation, be it a religious myth or scientific theory, gives us a sense of mastery over experience. To represent something symbolically, as we do when we speak or write, is somehow to capture it, thus making it one’s own. But with this appropriation comes the realization that we have denied the immediacy of reality and that in creating a substitute we have but spun another thread in the web of our grand illusion  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) Science is not the enemy of humanity but one of the deepest expressions of the human desire to realize that vision of infinite knowledge. Science shows us that the visible world is neither matter nor spirit; the visible world is the invisible organization of energy  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) Science has explored the microcosmos and the macrocosmos; we have a good sense of the lay of the land. The great unexplored frontier is complexity  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) It is unlikely that we will ever see a star being born. Stars are like animals in the wild. We may see the very young, but never their actual birth, which is a veiled and secret event. Stars are born inside thick clouds of dust and gas in the spiral arms of the galaxy, so thick that visible light cannot penetrate them  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) Our capacity for fulfillment can come only through faith and feelings. But our capacity for survival must come from reason and knowledge  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) The capacity to tolerate complexity and welcome contradiction, not the need for simplicity and certainty, is the attribute of an explorer. Centuries ago, when some people suspended their search for absolute truth and began instead to ask how things worked, modern science was born. Curiously, it was by abandoning the search for absolute truth that science began to make progress, opening the material universe to human exploration  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) As I continued to fall into the dark void, embraced by the vault of the heavens, I sang to the beauty of the stars and made my peace with the darkness  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) Possession of a program with unique analytic capabilities puts a scientist in as much of a priveleged position to make new discoveries as the possession of a powerful telescope  (Heinz Pagels Quotes) There was emptiness more profound than the void between the stars, for which there was no here and there and before and after, and yet out of that void the entire plenum of existence sprang forth  (Heinz Pagels Quotes)
