'The interface between science and religion is, in a certain sense, a no-man's land.  No specialized science is competent here, nor does classical theology nor academic philosophy really own this territory. This is an interdisciplinary zone where inquirers come from many fields. But this is a land where we increasingly must live.... The religion that is married to science today will be a widow tomorrow. But the religion that is divorced from science today will leave no offspring tomorrow.' Holmes Rolston
