If people are going back to religion, what are they going back to? Is the modern church a place to give comfort to a man who doubts God - more, one who disbelieves in God? Is the modern church a place to give comfort and encouragement to the value of such doubts? So far, have we not drawn strength and comfort to maintain the one or the other of these consistent heritages in a way which attacks the values of the other? Is this unavoidable? How can we draw inspiration to support these two pillars of western civilization so that they may stand together in full vigor, mutually unafraid? Is this not the central problem of our time? But logic is not all one needs one's heart to follow an idea. These two heritages are logically, thoroughly consistent. The other great heritage is Christian ethics - the basis of action on love, the brotherhood of all men, the value of the individual - the humility of the spirit.
One is the scientific spirit of adventure - the adventure into the unknown, an unknown which must be recognized as being unknown in order to be explored the demand that the unanswerable mysteries of the universe remain unanswered the attitude that all is uncertain to summarize it - the humility of the intellect. Western civilization, it seems to me, stands by two great heritages.remarks () at a Caltech YMCA lunch forum.The old problems, such as the relation of science and religion, are still with us, and I believe present as difficult dilemmas as ever, but they are not often publicly discussed because of the limitations of specialization. When we look at the past great debates on these subjects we feel jealous of those times, for we should have liked the excitement of such argument. The great problems of the relations between one and another aspect of human activity have for this reason been discussed less and less in public. In this age of specialization men who thoroughly know one field are often incompetent to discuss another.letter to Robert Bacher (6 April 1950), quoted in Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman (1992) by James Gleick, p.The theoretical broadening which comes from having many humanities subjects on the campus is offset by the general dopiness of the people who study these things.Schweber, 13 November 1984, published in QED and the Men Who Made It: Dyson, Feynman, Schwinger, and Tomonaga (1994) by Silvan S.
