[Mephisto2]

Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what's right.

Issac Asimov - -Scientist and author (1920-1992))

Born the same year, died the same year...wonder what these two, both giants in their own right, thought of one another?

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Albert Einstein

This calls for more thought.....

Maybe I am misunderstanding you Mizizing, but Einstein lived from March 14th 1879 to April 18th 1955.

I guess it's supposed to be one of those "ironic" statements. Kind of like Wilde's assertion that a cynic is a man who knows the cost of everthing, but the value of nothing.

But I thought the moral thing was the right thing...

I'm confused.

Is it like in stem cell research, where it is right to do it, but not moral?

I think I'm confused as its not even Sept 9 yet!
