“The idea that a good God would send people to a burning hell is utterly damnable to me. I don't want to have anything to do with such a God. But while I cannot conceive of such a God, I do recognize the existence of a great universal power - a power which we cannot even begin to comprehend and might as well not attempt to. It may be a conscious mind, or it may not. I don't know. As a scientist I should like to know, but as a man, I am not so vitally concerned.” PeopleKnowsMenWantShouldMindWellsMayIdeasMightFearExistenceHellAtheismConsciousConcernedScientistUniversalRageBurningGood GodConscious Mind Author:Luther Burbank
“All scientists have found that preconceived notions, dogmas, and all personal prejudice and bias, must be set aside, listening patiently, quietly and reverently to the lessons, one by one, which Mother Nature has to teach, shedding light on that which was before a mystery, so that all who will may see and know. She conveys her truths only to those who are passive and receptive.” KnowsMayLightMotherFoundNatureTeachMysteryListeningLessonsScientistPrejudiceNotionDogmaPassiveBiasMother NatureReceptivePreconceived NotionsShedding Light Author:Luther Burbank

“As a scientist, I cannot help feeling that all religions are on a tottering foundation . . . I am an infidel today. I do not believe what had been served to me to believe. I am a doubter, a questioner, a skeptic. When it can be proved to me that there is immortality, that there is resurrection beyond the gates of death, then will I believe. Until then, no.” BelieveHelpingFeelingsTodayI BelieveScientistFoundationImmortalityGatesResurrectionSkepticInfidelDoubters Author:Luther Burbank
