"All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must
assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent
Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter." - Max Planck

Planck's ASSUMPTION is nothing other than Faith. He ASSUMES that the
force behind existence is a conscious and intelligent Mind. The
minute he acts upon that assumption, he has taken a leap of faith.
Hopefully, he will take REASONED action. The Faith and the Reason are
NOT mutually exclusive. Nor does having one mean that an individual
doesn't have the other.

The argument re Faith vs Reason is a dead horse.

Oh, and add Planck to the list of Newton, Galileo, and Einstein.
Certainly a more prestigious lot than Dawkins, Dennett, and Harris,
what?

Namaste
