Religion is Comforting
Science is complex and chilling. The mathematical language of science is understood by very few. The vistas it presents are scary—an enormous universe ruled by chance and impersonal rules, empty and uncaring, ungraspable and vertiginous. How comfortable to turn instead to a small world, only a few thousand years old, and under God's personal; and immediate care; a world in which you are His peculiar concern.
Isaac Asimov, Ashley Montagu, "The 'Threat' of Creationism" Science and Creationism (1984-01-12)
