“The exquisite order displayed by our scientific understanding of the physical world calls for the divine.” Quote by Vera Kistiakowsky
“Here is the cosmological proof of the existence of God - the design argument of Paley - updated and refurbished. The fine tuning of the universe provides prima facie evidence of deistic design. Take your choice: blind chance that requires multitudes of universes or design that requires only one.... Many scientists, when they admit their views, incline toward the teleological or design argument.” ScienceChoicesUniverseChanceViewsExistenceAtheismDesignFineEvidenceArgumentScientistBlindProofMultitudesTheismExistence Of GodTuningInclineGod And ScienceScience GodFine TuningGod Provides Author:Edward Robert Harrison

“What is the ultimate solution to the origin of the Universe? The answers provided by the astronomers are disconcerting and remarkable.

“Science, with its experiments and logic, tries to understand the order or structure of the universe. Religion, with its theological inspiration and reflection, tries to understand the purpose or meaning of the universe. These two are cross-related. Purpose implies structure, and structure ought somehow to be interpretable in terms of purpose.” TryingTwoInspirationPurposeOrderUniverseTermAtheismOughtReflectionCrossesLogicStructureExperimentsRelatedTheological Author:Charles Hard Townes
“At least this is the way I see it. I am a physicist. I also consider myself a Christian. As I try to understand the nature of our universe in these two modes of thinking, I see many commonalities and crossovers between science and religion. It seems logical that in the long run the two will even converge.” ThinkingWayTryingLongTwoSeemsRunningChristianUniverseAtheismLogicalLong RunsScience And ReligionPhysicistCommonalityCrossover Author:Charles Hard Townes
“I believe in God. In fact, I believe in a personal God who acts in and interacts with the creation. I believe that the observations about the orderliness of the physical universe, and the apparently exceptional fine-tuning of the conditions of the universe for the development of life suggest that an intelligent Creator is responsible.” BelieveFactsUniverseI BelieveAtheismConditionsCreationFineDevelopmentIntelligentResponsibleCreatorI Believe InObservationBelieve In GodExceptionalI Believe In GodTuningOrderlinessFine Tuning Author:William Daniel Phillips
