Vivekananda on science…

“Modern science has really made the foundations of religion strong.  That the whole universe is one is scientifically demonstrable.  What the metaphysician calls ‘being’, the physicist calls ‘matter’; but there is no real fight between the two, for they are one.  Though an atom is invisible, unthinkable, yet in it are the whole power and potency of the universe.  That is exactly what the Vedantist says of the Atman.  All sects are really saying the same thing in different words.”

Honest investigation into truth can never be a bad thing and for the seeker, never a dangerous thing.  What is dangerous is when immature conclusions are grasped and insisted upon too firmly, only to be disproved later.  The whole truth will never fit into the confines of a mind; but a mind must always subject itself to stretching beyond its current limit.  The infinity of the Divine should be appreciated in all things.  Science and the highest religion are uniformly striving to see things as they really are; science from the external world and religion from the internal.
