King on Science & Religion

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was both a formalized scientist in his quest for knowledge and man of religion in his evident love of Christ and profession of faith. As a Christian scientist that also recognizes the importance of both science and religion and their respective roles in advancing human thought, knowledge, and understanding -- King is prolific in his sentiment and attestation that science and religion are not rivals.

"Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals.”
-Dr. M. L. King Jr.
