But did he go to heaven? Katherine persisted. That's between him and God, not him and history, JB said.Alex started, jerking so spastically that he kicked the basketball and would have sent it spinning out into the street if Chip hadn't caught it. Amazingly, Chip still seemed to have a swordsman's quick reflexes.YOU believe in God? Alex asked JB incredulously. But you know how to travel through time. You're a scientist. He hesitated. Aren't you?JB rolled his eyes.It amazes me how people of your time set up such a false dichotomy between science and religion. Fortunately, that only lasts for another... well, I can't tell you that, he said, stopping himself just in time. But I assure you, the more I travel through time, the more I witness, the more I realize that there are things that are both strange and wonderful, far beyond human comprehension. (pgs 299-300)
