Quote by Michael J. Behe
Is the conclusion that the universe was designed - and that the design extends deeply into life - science, philosophy, religion, or what? In a sense it hardly matters. By far the most important question is not what category we place it in, but whether a conclusion is true. A true philosophical or religious conclusion is no less true than a true scientific one. Although universities might divide their faculty and courses into academic categories, reality is not obliged to respect such boundaries.
Summary
This quote highlights the importance of seeking truth rather than categorizing ideas in science, philosophy, or religion. The author argues that the most significant aspect is determining the truthfulness of a conclusion, regardless of the category it falls into. They suggest that while society may compartmentalize knowledge, reality does not conform to these artificial boundaries. The quote encourages open-mindedness and prioritizing the quest for truth over assigning ideas to specific disciplines.
