Question

"cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest motive for scientific research." What does this mean?

Answer 1

"cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest motive for scientific research." What does this mean?



~~~ It is babble, obviously not by a scientist.

I'd say it was a quote from a lying Xtian, who knows nothing of science, or God!

Answer 2

It means that the writer is deluded.



The motive for scientific research is curiosity. Wanting to understand how the universe works.

Answer 3

It means someone thinks the purpose of science is not to learn about the world but to verify one's own religious opinions.

Answer 4

Sounds like some meaningless New Age thing.
