"what religious people call 'conversion'"
Science presents us with a world that is purposeless and void of meaning, where:
“…man is the product of causes which had no prevision of the end they were achieving; … his origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and beliefs are but the outcome of accidental collocations of atoms; …no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling, can preserve and individual life beyond the grave; …all the labours of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system… the whole temple of man’s achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins --- all these things, if not quite beyond dispute, are yet so nearly certain, that no philosophy which rejects them can hope to stand. Only within the scaffolding of these truths, only on the firm foundation of unyielding despair, can the soul’s habitation henceforth be safely built.”
-Bertrand Russell; Essays on Religion and Related Subjects, Bertrand Russell, edited by George Allen & Unwin LTD., p107, Simon & Schuster, 1957
