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.
Charles Hard TownesMuch public thinking follows a rut. The same thing is true in science. People get stuck and don't look in other directions.
Charles Hard TownesThe late Richard Feynman, a superb physicist, said once as we talked about the laser that the way to tell a great idea is that, when people hear it, they say, 'Gee, I could have thought of that.'
Charles Hard TownesI strongly believe in the existence of God, based on intuition, observations, logic, and also scientific knowledge.
