💠Faith and Science according to Ayatollah Motahari:
🔸"Science gives us enlightenment and power; faith gives us love, hope, and ardor.
Science makes instruments; faith constructs purpose.
🔹Science gives speed; faith gives direction. Science is power; faith is benevolence.
🔸Science shows what is; faith inspires insight into what must be done. Science is the outer revolution; faith is the inner revolution.
🔹Science makes the universe the human universe; faith makes the psyche the psyche of humanity; science expands man's being horizontally; faith conveys him upward.
🔸Science shapes nature; faith shapes man. Both science and faith empower man, but science gives power of discrimination, and faith gives a power of integration.
🔹Both science and faith are beauty, but science is the beauty of reason, and faith is the beauty of the spirit.
🔸Science is the beauty of thought, and faith is the beauty of feeling. Both science and faith give man security, but science gives outward while faith gives inward security.
🔹Science gives security against the onslaught of illness, floods, earthquakes, storms; while faith gives security against worry, loneliness, feelings of helplessness, feelings of futility.
🔸Science brings the world into greater harmony with man, and faith brings man into harmony with himself."
