Selected Quotes from Scientific Experts

“Only a rookie who knows nothing about science would say science takes away from faith. If you really study science, it will bring you closer to God.”

-- Nanoscientist James Tour, Rice University

“Nothing we learn about the universe threatens our faith. It only enriches it.”

-- Astrophysicist and priest George Coyne

“Like all other scientific theories, Darwinian evolution must be continually compared with the evidence. If it does not fit the evidence, it must be reevaluated or abandoned—otherwise it is not science, but myth.”

--Biologist Jonathan Wells in Icons of Evolution

“The truth claims of atheism simply cannot be proved. How do we know that there is no God? The simple fact of the matter is that atheism is a faith, which draws conclusions that go beyond the available evidence.”

--Alister McGrath, Oxford University

“Perhaps the best argument . . . that the Big Bang supports theism is the obvious unease with which it is greeted by some atheist physicists. At times this has led to scientific ideas . . . being advanced with a tenacity which so exceeds their intrinsic worth that one can only suspect the operation of the psychological forces lying very much deeper than the usual academic desire of a theorist to support his or her theory.”

-- Astrophysicist D.J. Isham

“The ‘Old Story of Science’ is scientific materialism. It holds that only matter exists and that all things are explicable in terms of matter alone.” But in recent years “science has undergone a series of dramatic revolutions” that have “transformed the modern conception of man and his place in the world.”

--Theoretical physicist George Stanciu and science philosopher Robert Augros, in The New Story of Science, 1986

“It is hard to resist the impression that the present structure of the universe, apparently so sensitive to minor alterations in numbers, has been rather carefully thought out . . . The seemingly miraculous concurrence of these numerical values must remain the most compelling evidence for cosmic design.”

--Physicist Paul Davies

“It is quite easy to understand why so many scientists have changed their minds in the past thirty years, agreeing that the universe cannot reasonably be explained as a cosmic accident. Evidence of an intelligent designer becomes more compelling the more we understand about our carefully crafted habitat.”

-- Walter Bradley, co-author of The Mystery of Life’s Origin

“I do not believe that any scientists who examined the evidence would fail to draw the inference that the laws of nuclear physics have been deliberately designed with regard to the consequences they produce inside stars.”

--Sir Fred Hoyle, astrophysicist
