Abstract

Seen in terms of their long-range personal and cultural impacts, science and religion are the two most important forces in today's world. Science cannot teach us what we need most to know about either nature or culture: how to value it. Science increasingly opens up religious questions. The future of religion depends on the dialogue. The dialogue offers new opportunities for understanding and confronting suffering and evil. The future of Earth depends on this dialogue.
