I don't want to start anything here, but for the record I would like
to offer an opposing viewpoint. I have seldom found religion to be
"warm" nor do I find science to be "cold."  Its often quite the
reverse. Nor do I see any way shape of form how a "pattern of
ethics" comes from their union.  Ethics is forced down the throat
of most religious people (who in turn force it down the throat of
others), and is usually already present with scientists (marketing
is another story). One can be ethical without being either scientific
or religious. The humorous, and sometimes factual, cartoon
Dilbert illustrates the "pattern of ethics" found in today's business
world. Adding a "religious outlook" won't help much.
