Should religion restrict rational thought or scientific inquiry from pursuing its own conclusion?
Some would contend that the idea that the universe is meaningless, as Dawkins asserts, gives no rational basis for investigating it, although of course in practical terms, we do not hesitate for a moment in doing so, since much of our modern science, particularly in the field of medical research, would hope to make life itself better or even to save life. Religion would thus place no restriction on science as science, but would certainly state that science has its limitations.
