Astrophysicist on the 'Conflict' Between Science and Religion

Dr. Joel Primack is an American astrophysicist who co-developed what's called "the cold dark matter theory" (which seeks to understand the formation and structure of the universe). When asked about the alleged rift between science and religion, Primack said, "In the last few years astronomy has come together so that we're now able to tell a coherent story of how the universe came together. This story does not contradict God, but instead enlarges the idea of God."
