Freeman Dyson

Mr. Dyson, a mathematician and Quantum Physicist, has a very unique view on the compatibility of science and religion. He used a powerful metaphor describing two windows on a wall side by side (Religion and Science). You can't look out of them at the same time. He firmly believes that there is a God and views him (or her) as a kind of "master mind" that created the universe.
I really liked his view that religion is "a way of life, not an 'ism'" (Buddhism, Catholicism). Our purpose he believes is to live a good and kind life. It's our actions, he says, not our beliefs that connect us with this universal mind of God. I really liked the fact that he identifies as an agnostic. Because, as he put it "you just never really know." Bravo!
