Ryan Rush (1997):

Ryan is a minister in the Methodist Church.He spoke about the links between science and religion:
Ministry in the Christian tradition is the application of theology to real-world variables, just as technology is the application of hard science to real-world variables. Though what is today termed science treats of phenomena which may be measured and repeated, while theology treats of phenomena which may not, both ultimately find their most basic expression in the purity of reason itself. Thus a scientific education contributes to what one ancient writer called "devout reason" in religion, while a religious education contributes to meaningfulness in science. The scientist or minister who can breathe with both these lungs is ultimately more holistic and comprehensive in his or her pursuits.
