Thought or science as prayer

Dr Jordan B. Peterson argues that all thought, all scientific enquiry, has something of the form of prayer for it is openness to revelation from the divine spirit. It requires humility and a willingness to repent, to admit ignorance and sacrifice old ideas. There must be a death and resurrection, a giving up of old notions for the sake of the new, and a disinterested aiming towards Truth whatever the cost. It turns out the believers and scientist alike must take up their cross and follow the Logos.
