"Religion and Science are inter-twined with each other and cannot be separated. These are the two wings with which humanity must fly. One wing is not enough. Every religion which does not concern itself with Science is mere tradition, and that is not the essential. Therefore science, education and civilization are most important necessities for the full religious life."
(Abdu'l-Baha, Abdu'l-Baha in London, p. 28)
If any religion rejected Science and knowledge, that religion was false. Science and Religion should go forward together; indeed, they should be like two fingers of one hand. 72
(Abdu'l-Baha, Abdu'l-Baha in London, p. 71)
God has endowed man with intelligence and reason whereby he is required to determine the verity of questions and propositions. If religious beliefs and opinions are found contrary to the standards of science they are mere superstitions and imaginations; for the antithesis of knowledge is ignorance, and the child of ignorance is superstition. Unquestionably there must be agreement between true religion and science. If a question be found contrary to reason, faith and belief in it are impossible and there is no outcome but wavering and vacillation.
(Compilations, Baha'i World Faith, p. 240)

"The conception of physical things and phenomena as transient manifestations of an underlying fundamental entity is not only a basic element of quantum field theory, but also a basic element of the Eastern world view.
"In trying to understand the mystery of Life, man has followed many different approaches....All are valid and useful in the context in which they arose...
"The modern physicist experiences the world through an extreme specialization of the rational mind; the mystic through an extreme specialization of the intuitive mind....Neither is comprehended in the other, nor can either of them be reduced to the other; but both of them are necessary, supplementing one another for a fuller understanding of the world....Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science, but man needs both....What we need, therefore, is not a synthesis, but a dynamic interplay between mystical intuition and scientific analysis.
"...most of today's physicists do not seem to realize the philosophical, cultural, and spiritual implications of their theories. Many of them actively support a society which is still based on the mechanistic, fragmented world-view [of classical physics], without seeing that science points beyond such a view, toward a oneness of the universe which includes not only our natural environment but also our fellow human beings. I believe that the world-view implied by modern physics is inconsistent with our present society, which does not reflect the harmonious interrelatedness we observe in nature. To achieve such a state of dynamic balance, a radically different social and economic structure will be needed: a cultural revolution in the true sense of the word." --Fritjof Capra, The Tao of Physics

Merry,

Isn't this foretold in the Bible?
