Idea: M. Scott Peck on Science & Religion

"But by virtue of its success, measurement has become a kind of scientific idol. The result is an attitude on the part of many scientists of not only skepticism but outright rejection of what cannot be measured. It is as if they were to say, "What we cannot measure, we cannot know there is no point in worrying about what we cannot know; therefore, what cannot be measure is unimportant and unworthy of our observation. Because of this attitude many scientist exclude from their serious consideration all matters that are - or seem to be to0 intangible. Including, of course, the matter of God."
