Bob - Do you have the reference to this wonderful quote you gave us? I seem to
remember seeing it in a now-defunct journal, under the title "God and the
Astronomers". Thanks x 10^6 Larry Johnston

I am reminded of the comment about the implications of the Big Bang made by
Robert Jastrow, founder of NASA’s Goddard Institute, and director of Mount
Wilson observatory. He wrote, "For the scientist who has lived by his faith
in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the
mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls
himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have
been sitting there for centuries."
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set
eternity in the hearts of men" - - Ecclesiastes 3:11, NIV trans
