"The scientist's religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, in comparison with it, the highest intelligence of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection." I like this quote because I would think being a scientist would strengthen someones faith in a higher intelligence. After seeing up close the intricate details and harmony in natural law it seems impossible to deny that there is a higher power.

"The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead." I love this quote. Honestly I love not knowing how things work. I am not 100% sure on a lot of my beliefs and the fact that I can wonder and constantly try to gain knowledge is fascinating. When I stand outside on our property I am constantly amazed at how detailed our world is. I don't know how it all works and I love that no matter how hard I strive to learn all the answers I will never know them all in this life. With an open mind life is so much more inspiring.
