Isn't interesting that the greats of science and religion should think so alike?
Considering all the other stuff Wojtyla said and did during his reign, I wouldn't call him a big fan of science. He's probably the most scientifically inclined pope we've had yet, but I'm not taking him off my list of religious loons just yet.

....and what Einstein meant by that is up for interpretation. I'm not so sure myself. He wasn't especially religious himself.
