To any of your
friends who are confused on this issue [virgin birth of Jesus], you can explain
that the principle of harmony between religion and science, while it enables
us, with the help of reason, to see through the falsity of superstitions, does
not imply that truth is limited to what can be explained by current scientific
concepts. Not only do all religions have their miracles and mysteries, but
religion itself, and certain fundamental religious concepts, such as the nature
of the Manifestations of God, are far from being explicable by present-day
scientific theories.
