Do Scientists Believe In God?

The existence of design in Nature is a fact which must be taken seriously because in every main branch of science.
Physics, geophysics, astronomy, chemistry and biology, we are faced with the same surprising fact.
Nearly everywhere Nature shows signs of something we can only think of in terms of ingenuity and deliberate design.
( Robert E.D. Clark, PH.D. Organic Chemistry, Cambridge University )

A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests a Super Intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with the chemistry and the biology.
There are no blind forces worth speaking about in Nature.
The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question.
( Dr. Fred Hoyle, British Astrophysicist & founder of Theory of Stellar Nucleosynthesis )

It may seem bizarre, but in my opinion, a deep study into the sciences offers a surer path to God than any religion.
( Paul Davies, Physicist winner of the 2001 Kelvin Medal issued by the Institute of Physics and winner of the 2002 Faraday Prize issued by the Royal Society )

To suppose that the human eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest sense.
( Charles Darwin )

A bit of science distances one from God, but much science nears one to Him.
The more I study Nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator.
( Louis Pasteur )

We are, by astronomical standards, a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures.
If the universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could never have come into existence.
It is my view that these circumstances indicate the universe was created for man to live in.
( John O’Keefe, Astronomer, NASA )

It seems to me that when confronted with the marvels of life and the incredibly fine-tuned universe, one must ask why and not just how.
The only possible answers are religious.
I find a need for God in the universe, and in my own life.
(Arthur L. Schawlow, Professor of Physics, Stanford University and Nobel prize winner in physics)

Precious little in the way of biochemical evolution could have happened on the Earth.
If one counts the number of trial assemblies of amino acids alone that are needed to give rise to the enzymes, the probability of their discovery by selection or via random shufflings turns out to be less than ‘one in ten to the 40,000th.’
( Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe, Professor, Applied Mathematics and Astronomy, University College Cardiff )

Both religion and science require a belief in God. For believers, God is in the beginning, and for physicists he is at the end of all considerations.
( Max Planck, Nobel prize winner in physics )

Astronomy leads us to a unique event.
A universe which was created out of nothing and delicately balanced to provide exactly the conditions required to support life.
In the absence of an absurdly-improbable accident.
The observations of modern science seem to suggest an underlying, one might say, supernatural plan.
( Arno Penzias, Physicist and Nobel prize winner )

Within DNA we’ve discovered dual coding, along with protein code-reading frames and other cellular design features for concentrating the vast genomic information.
Such innovations are virtually impossible to be by chance or selective processes.
( W.Y. Chung, Comparative Genomics and Bioinformatics, Penn State University )

Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups.
The theory has helped nothing in the progress of science.
It is useless.
The shocking lack of transitional fossils offer no explanation for the exquisitely complex animals, all unique in their kinds.
( Dr. Louis Bounoure, French National Centre for Scientific Research )

The more you look scientifically and mathematically at the universe, the more you understand God is its glorious infinitely wise creator.
( Johannes Kepler, Founder of the Planetary Laws of Motion )

One cannot look at this universe with all living productions and man, without believing that all has been intelligently designed.
( Charles Darwin )

The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an Atheist.
But at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.
( Werner Heisenberg, Nobel prize winner in physics, Founder of Quantum Mechanics )

Unfortunately, the origin of the cell remains a question that is actually the murkiest aspect of the whole theory of evolution.
( Alexander Ivanovich Oparin, Biochemist, notable for his book The Origin of Life )

Without the incredible design and tuning seen in Earth’s radiation protection mechanism, our magnetic field structure, life itself would be an impossibility.
( Sir Robert Boyd, Royal Astronomical Society )

A Creator must exist.
The big bang ripples and subsequent scientific findings clearly point to an ex-nihilo creation consistent with the first few verses of the Book of Genesis.
( Henry F. Schaefer 111, Quantum Chemist, Five-time nominee for the Nobel Prize )

God used beautiful mathematics in creating the world.
( Paul Dirac, Nobel Prize Winner in Physics )

I believe that the more thoroughly science is studied, the further does it take us from anything comparable to Atheism.
( Lord William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, Mathematical physicist and engineer )

God is the author of the universe and the free establisher of the laws of motion.
( Robert William Boyle, Chemist and physicist, Founder of modern chemistry ) 

Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the Earth.
And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover.
( Robert Jastrow, NASA Physicist )

Natural selection through mutation cannot begin to explain the incredible functions of the eye.
Mutations are either neutral or harmful, rarely are they helpful, just as a random change made by poking a screwdriver into the guts of your computer will rarely improve its performance.
( Paul Ehrlich, Evolutionist, Stanford University )

There is no conflict between science and religion.
Our knowledge of God is made larger with every discovery we make about the world.
( Joseph H. Taylor, Nobel Prize in Physics for discovery of the first binary pulsar )

The fanatical Atheists are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains they have thrown off after a hard struggle.
They are creatures who in their grudge against God and religion can’t hear the music of the spheres.
( Albert Einstein )

Genetic studies continue to prove entropy of the human genome is constant and degenerative, making evolution and improvement by selection both scientifically and logically false.
( Dr. John Sanford, Cornell University Professor )

I have found there is a wonderful harmony in the complementary truths of science and faith.
The God of the Bible is also the God of the human genome.
God can be found in the Cathedral or in the laboratory.
( Francis Sellers Collins, Physician-geneticist )

If I had no other data than the early chapters of Genesis, some of the Psalms, and other passages of scripture, I would have arrived at essentially the same picture of the origin of the universe, as is indicated by scientific data.
( Arno Penzias, Physicist and Nobel prize winner )

No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus.
His personality pulsates in every word.
No myth is filled with such life.
( Albert Einstein )

The fact is there are proportionally as many Atheistic truck drivers as Atheistic scientists.
And among Nobel laureates, the number who recognise the hand of God in the universe is remarkably high.
( Richard Bube, Stanford University Professor )

How did the molecules of life form and acquire their amazing abilities without an intelligent designer?
Evolutionary research fails to provide adequate explanations or satisfying answers to questions about the origin of life.
In effect, those who deny the purposeful intervention of a Creator attribute god-like powers to mindless molecules and natural forces.
( Rose Winfold )

The most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.
( Isaac Newton )

Scientists hold to chemical ‘chance’ evolution theories, but still somehow involve God.
I think it is because for them to admit that God directly created the first cell, they might as well admit that God created everything directly.
The presence of building materials is one thing, the requirement of the plan to put these building materials in the proper places and get them working together is another thing.
That’s why a cell is so beautiful, so intricate.
Even to get one single functional protein molecule to form by chance is a mathematical absurdity.
( Dr Aw Swee-Eng, M.B., B.S., Ph.D.(Lond.), FRC Path., MI Biol. (Lond.))

The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.
‪( Nikola Tesla, Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist )

I am not an atheist.
The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds.
We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages.
The child knows someone must have written those books.
It does not know how.
It does not understand the languages in which they are written.
The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is.
That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.
We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws.
( Albert Einstein )

I think only an idiot can be an atheist.
We must admit that there exists an incomprehensible power or force with limitless foresight and knowledge that started the whole universe going in the first place.
( Christian B. Anfinsen, 1916-1995, an American biochemist who shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Chemistry )
