    Re: The quotation from:

    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."

    This is found in his book, God and the Astronomers, p. 116 in my (first)
    edition.
