I strongly believe in the existence of God, based on intuition, observations, logic, and also scientific knowledge.

The development of science is basically a social phenomenon, dependent on hard work and mutual support of many scientists and on the societies in which they live.

Much public thinking follows a rut. The same thing is true in science. People get stuck and don't look in other directions.

In many cases, people who win a Nobel prize, their work slows down after that because of the distractions. Yes, fame is rewarding, but it's a pity if it keeps you from doing the work you are good at.
