Thank you for this article. All my life I kept hearing the nonsensical claim that religion was for the uneducated masses (or as Karl Marx put it "the opiate of the masses.") and that truly educated people no longer needed the crutch of religion. I would also hear people say "science is my religion." The fact is, many true scientist understand, as Sir Isaac Newton did, that the more we learn, the more we realize we don't know everything. Elder Neal A. Maxwell put it well when he said, "We should not assume... that just because something is unexplainable by us, it is unexplainable.
