I was listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson, an American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator. What an intriguing man! He said something to the effect that if you don't want to think and want all the answers, then stick with religion.
If, however, you want to experience the journey of exploration – a journey that does not always promise the answers, and even the answers just give rise to many more questions – then pursue science.
The joy is in the journey, not the destination. (And no, he wasn't dissing morality and religion. He was just reminding us that while we may know much, there is still more that we don't know, that patiently waits for our knowledge to measure up.)
