FAITH
This is similar to the Bible quote: "The fear of G_d is the beginning of wisdom". No doubt, this is one of the greatest gems of wisdom one can grasp!

We must believe in faith and our questions will be answered. Seek and you shall find!

tell me more
The title is rhetorical. paragraph 1 and 2 are my level. i hope that the paradox in paragraph 3 applies to me, even though it seems too easy. Jarod Diamond and Robin Wright (Lost Continents) keep one sitting on the fence.
i wrote the above without scrolling down to your Max Planc post. He alludes to a temple of science in which one must have faith, not the holy temple. This is not intended as an argument; it is my interpretation of the Planc words. Am open to correction.

I agree
It's ridiculous what people do to stop feeling bothered about their faith. They will alienate, oppress and kill.
Allow the questions to come and if the answer eludes you, seek it.

Although the Rebbe iterated this idea often, in many different forms (and really, it is a cornerstone of Chabad thought)--the assertion was also made by several philosophers of science, including one of the foremost scientists of the 20th century, Max Planck:
"Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.'"
