Religion and Science are inter-twined with each other and
cannot be separated. These are the two wings with which humanity must fly. One
wing is not enough. Every religion which does not concern itself with Science
is mere tradition, and that is not the essential. Therefore science, education
and civilization are most important necessities for the full religious life.
(‘Abdu'l-Baha, from a talk, September 30, 1911; ‘Abdu'l-Baha in London’)
