Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man’s struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.

Because atomic behavior is so unlike ordinary experience, it is very difficult to get used to, and it appears peculiar and mysterious to everyone – both to the novice and to the experienced physicist.

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein’s general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

There are many levels of Christianity. There are many notions about God. To believe that God is a person is just one of the notions of God that you can find in Christianity. So, we should not say that there is one Christianity. There are many Christianities.

The greatest progress is in the sciences that study the simplest systems. So take, say, physics – greatest progress there. But one of the reasons is that the physicists have an advantage that no other branch of sciences has. If something gets too complicated, they hand it to someone else.

To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn’t, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

What constitutes a real, live human being is more of a mystery than ever these days, and men each one of whom is a valuable, unique experiment on the part of nature are shot down wholesale.

Curiosity is lying in wait for every secret.

Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light.

God and I have a great relationship, but we both see other people.

Everything is subject to change except God Himself.

There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

You are a child of the sun, you come from the sun, and that is something true with the Earth also… your relationship with the Earth is so deep, and the Earth is in you and this is something not very difficult, much less difficult then philosophy.

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we’re hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.

To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.

The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.

All writers are going to have to learn more about science, because it’s such an interesting part of their environment.

I do put a lot of God in my music, but not because I’m super religious. There are a lot of demons in my music, too. I acknowledge both.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.

God’s dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family, that we are made for togetherness, for goodness, and for compassion.

I have been chosen by God Almighty to be one of his messengers.

Science sent the Hubble telescope out into space, so it could capture light and the absence thereof, from the very beginning of time. And the telescope really did that. So now we know that there was once absolutely nothing, such a perfect nothing that there wasn’t even nothing or once.

When you are spiritually connected, you are not looking for occasions to be offended, and you are not judging and labeling others. You are in a state of grace in which you know you are connected to God and thus free from the effects of anyone or anything external to yourself.

The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life, but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.

Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.

Creation is a miracle of daily recurrence. ‚A miracle a minute‘ would not be a bad slogan for God.

This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.

Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.

God never promised us a trouble-free life.

We are like boxers, one never knows how much longer one has.

Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.

Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

God’s Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.

Ironically, parenting is a shame and judgment minefield precisely because most of us are wading through uncertainty and self-doubt when it comes to raising our children.

I read the book of Job last night, I don’t think God comes out well in it.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

Theoretical physics is one of the few fields in which being disabled is no handicap – it is all in the mind.

When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done… is doing… and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it… stay amazed!

God made me and broke the mold.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

For years, my early work with Roger Penrose seemed to be a disaster for science. It showed that the universe must have begun with a singularity, if Einstein’s general theory of relativity is correct. That appeared to indicate that science could not predict how the universe would begin.

You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.

The only things one can admire at length are those one admires without knowing why.

To me, ideology is corrupt; it’s a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility. If you’re an ideologue, you believe everything that you think. If you’re religious, there’s a mystery left there.

Since God created the world, He also created reality.

No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.

By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.

I was being trained because I wanted to be a preacher like my father. I wanted to talk about Moses; I wanted to talk about God… I wanted to talk about the apostles, the disciples and all that.

Many admire, few know.

The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills; if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills; Nor can it choose its rider… the riders contend for its possession.

You will never exaggerate when you speak good things of God. It is not possible to do so. Try, dear brethren, and boast in the Lord.

Some people would claim that things like love, joy and beauty belong to a different category from science and can’t be described in scientific terms, but I think they can now be explained by the theory of evolution.

I was a very keen reader of science fiction, and during the time I was going to libraries, it was good, written by people who knew their science.

God’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.

The history of science shows that theories are perishable. With every new truth that is revealed we get a better understanding of Nature and our conceptions and views are modified.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‚Eureka!‘ but ‚That’s funny…‘

God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end for which he formed them.

Science, as everyone knows, is responsible, moderate, unsentimental, and otherwise good.
