What a bunch of arrogant, pretentious religionist crap, both from Osho and from Card. Religion isn't about "wonder," it's about it's opposite, certainty, or belief in either a dogma or an inner vision caused by believing that dogma. At least Card is honest about what he really feels -- he wants to *force* scientists to believe in religion. That's the whole problem with "TM science" in a nutshell, the 'tude that "We already know the truth, because religion has told it to us. All we need to do now is find some way to cook the data to make it look as if science agrees with us. Then all those other scientists will finally have to agree with us, because we were RIGHT all along." Fortunately, many scientists prefer to remain scientists, and leave the religion to the gullible. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2011/08/23/a-higgs-setback-did-stephen-hawking-just-win-the-most-outrageous-bet-in-physics-history/
