He spoke of science and theology as "incommunicable, incapable of collision, and needing at most to be connected, never to be reconciled" (324).
True science will also remember that only some aspects of reality can be understood through observation and experiments, and so it will never aspire to such an absurdity as a "theory of everything," nor will it attempt to explain thought itself as a product of physical forces.
