Research as worship

 

Elder Maxwell on scholarship as worship
From today’s faculty newsletter of BYU’s College of Humanities

 

“But the context of religion is a great background for doing science.  In the words of Psalm 19, ‘The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth his handiwork.’  Thus scientific research is a worshipful act, in that it reveals more of the wonders of God’s creation.”  (Arthur Leonard Schawlow, Stanford University; 1981 Nobel laureate in physics)
