“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology.

“Development of Western science is based on two great achievements: the invention of the formal logical system (in Euclidean geometry) by the Greek philosophers, and the discovery of the possibility to find out causal relationships by systematic experiment (during the Renaissance).
