Quote by Warren Weaver

Science attempts to analyze how things and people and animals behave; it has no concern whether this behavior is good or bad, is purposeful or not. But religion is precisely the quest for such answers: whether an act is right or wrong, good or bad, and why.

Summary

This quote highlights the fundamental difference between science and religion in their respective quests for understanding. Science focuses on studying and analyzing behavior objectively without making judgments on its morality or purpose. In contrast, religion seeks answers about the rightness or wrongness of actions, and the underlying reasons behind them. While science strives for empirical explanations, religion explores ethical and existential dimensions, addressing questions of good versus bad and seeking ultimate meaning and purpose.
