Thanks so much! I don't always resonate with everything Rabbi Sacks writes, but 'The Great Partnership' is one of the most striking English Jewish works I've read. The entire book just flows. I wasn't actually thinking about it when I wrote this article, but now you pointed it out, I'm sure it influenced me. He has a wonderful (and very quotable) line in there that aligns with what you are saying: "Science takes things apart to see how they work. Religion puts things together to see what they mean." Once again thanks for all the feedback, it means a lot to me!
Thank you for introducing me to the word “boffins”.
"Science maps reality's intricate processes, yet it cannot comprehend its soulful depths. The magic is in the meaning."
So beautiful.
