"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. ... A knowledge of something we cannot penetrate, our preceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds--it is this knowledge and this emotion that constiutes true religiosity; and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man."--Albert Einstein, Living Philosophies.

If Richard Dawkin and the same, can not appreciate the Mystery that is at the heart of the religious experience, is he not also by his own philosophy barred from appreciating the mysterious "which stands at the cradle of true art and true science"? Perhaps in this sense he does not get science either.
