Overlapping Magisteria

"Saying that the mental lives of a Francis Collins or a Freeman Dyson prove that religion and science are compatible is like saying that the sex lives of Bill Clinton or Ted Haggard prove that marriage and adultery are compatible."
--Clay Shirky, on the (in)compatability of science and religion, from The Edge World Question for 2008 ("What have you changed your mind about?").

(Via Arts & Letters Daily.)
