Because God is reflected in the world in which me made, in some sense, my scientific investigation has always supported my belief in God in a very real sense. It helps me to pray better.

There are many people who do view scientific research as alienating from religion and from God, and when so many people do, there must be some reason for it.

I can't see for the life of me how an attempt to understand the universe, which I believe comes from God, can alienate us from God.

Christianity has always had sort of an ability to absorb the developments in science. But, it's always done it very slowly.

The Christian church has a long history of gradually absorbing scientific perspectives and new discoveries. It seems to me that, in fact, that has been one of the strengths of Christianity - it has ultimately had great flexibility in absorbing new information about the world that we get from science.

I think today the church faces a very real challenge in not repeating the errors of the past, in sort of a stand off, a fear of science.

Doing science is not inherently incompatible with religious faith.
