Summary

This quote highlights the different responses between scientists and religious individuals when confronted with challenging questions about their respective fields. It suggests that scientists tend to remain silent when faced with profound scientific inquiries, possibly due to the nature of their methodology and the need for empirical evidence.

The quote reflects the varying attitudes and approaches towards questioning and exploring the boundaries of science and religion.
