From the Paper:

"Modern science is a triumph of the collective efforts of countless minds throughout all of human history. Science had originally been tethered to religion, offering an explanation for all natural events observed both in nature and in human events. Religion was originally inseparable from philosophy and science in that early man found solace in linking natural events with those events which he made happen. "
