Fruitful discourse in science or theology requires us to believe that within the contexts of normal discourse there are some true statements.

With acknowledgement of residues, we can be more easily prepared to grant the unit of science, the overlapping of disciplines, and the total coherence of all facts.

Acceptance of the power of God in one's life lays the groundwork for personal commitment to both science and Christianity, which so often have been in conflict.

The marvelous thing is that even in studying linguistics, we find that the universe as a whole is patterned, ordered, and to some degree intelligible to us.

Today's practicality is often no more than the accepted form of yesterday's theory.

It is also, I would guess, a universal that in all societies people value respectability granted to them.
