Just for the sake of truth, that quote is fake, though Heisenberg was an openly devout lutheran.

(((Jesuits)))

>Is it possible to use what I've learned in Academia to serve Him?

Sure, why not? Pray over it and don't feel bad if you end up serving the kingdom indirectly or in a small way: the body has many members with different functions and gifts. Don't fall for the Jesuit meme either, they're pretty shady.

>>649951

Well, shit. Nonetheless, it does sum up my experience.

>>649952

Yeah yeah, I know. That's why I'm asking for advice.

>>649954

It would just feel like a waste if I didn't use my education that I've accumulated over the last decade for some better purpose; I might be a little shaded about Academia after being at one of the so-called "elite" institutions for the past 4 years. You're right that I should pray over it, but God speaks through all of us; even on the posts of an imageboard. I agree about the Jesuits, which was why I was asking for alternatives.

Hmm well, you could go the easy route and become a teacher, but im sure you already thought of that. It really depends on what kind of science you majored in.

Math and science makes me think you could apply yourself to medicine or medicine research.

>>649946

Yes, by destroying the Judeo-Satanic West.

>The quote per se cannot be found in Heisenberg's published works, and Otremba apparently does not declare his source. The journalist Eike Christian Hirsch PhD, a personal aquaintance of Heisenberg, whom he interviewed for his 1981 book Expedition in die Glaubenswelt, informed de.wikiquote on 22 June 2015, that content and style of the quote was completely foreign to Heisenberg's convictions and the way he used to express himself, and that Heisenberg's children, Dr. Maria Hirsch and Prof. Dr. Martin Heisenberg, did not recognize their father in this quote. Hirsch has suggested that the quote and its attribution to Heisenberg may have been fabricated by a fundamentalist English-speaking Christian seeking support for his faith, and he points to the similar precursor remarks of Francis Bacon, in "Of Atheism" (1601): "A little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion", and of Alexander Pope, in "An Essay on Criticism" (1709): "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again." However, there is a passage in a lengthy essay written by Heisenberg in 1942, "Ordnung der Wirklichkeit” ("Reality and Its Order"), published in Collected Works. Section C: Philosophical and Popular Writings. Volume I. Physics and Cognition. 1927-1955 (1984), that parallels the ideas expressed in the quote (albeit in a much expanded form):

>"The first thing we could say was simply: 'I believe in God, the Father, the almighty creator of heaven and earth.' The next step — at least for our contemporary consciousness — was doubt. There is no god; there is only an impersonal law that directs the fate of the world according to cause and effect… And yet [today], we may with full confidence place ourselves into the hands of the higher power who, during our lifetime and in the course of the centuries, determines our faith and therewith our world and our fate." (English translation by M.B.Rumscheidt and N. Lukens)

So yeah, it isn't Heisi, but there are plenty of quotes about God, and religion and science being compatible, in his work.
