As a religious priest I find it a very enriching experience to do my scientific research.

There are dimensions to me that are not just the thinking person, but the person who is much richer, the person who has other emotional experiences, psychological experiences, these experiences also enrich me.

I hope I'm not giving the impression of an ivory tower science, but for me science is an attempt to understand, it's an attempt to understand the universe.

The whole dimension of religious belief requires transcendence, it requires going beyond what you can establish rationally.

Neither of us can come to either a knowledge of God, or a denial of God by our scientific research.

I have never come to know God, to see God, to believe in God through doing science. He's not the conclusion of some sort of process of my personal scientific investigation.

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