Here is an excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr’s<\/a> sermon titled, “A Tough Mind and a Tender Heart.”<\/p>\n

“There may be a conflict between soft-minded religionists and tough-minded scientists, but not between science and religion. Their respective worlds are different and their methods are dissimilar. Science investigates; religion interprets<\/a>. Science gives man knowledge that is power; religion gives man wisdom that is control. science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rials. they are complementary. Science keeps religion from sinking into the valley of crippling irrationalism and paralyzing obscurantism. Religion prevents science<\/a> from falling into the marsh of obsolete materialism and moral nihilism.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
