"...our scientific understandings of nature, although
they deepen all the time and broaden and so on,
there are fundamental questions that
I think will probably not be answered.
And I just feel quite comfortable realizing that
there are things that we don't know,
and so
that's where
the covenant with Mystery comes from—
that I enjoy not knowing, in a way;
it's just fine with me."
Cell biologist and religious naturalist Ursula Goodenough,
author of The Sacred Depths of Nature
