The nature of God is something that is of serious interest to believers, to theologians, and to philosophers. And yet we can't come to the nature of God, unless we also have some knowledge of the nature of the universe as having come from God.

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

Scientists in general tend to have what I would call a bit of hubris that the public do not necessarily understand. So scientists some times make claims that are misunderstood by the public.

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

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.

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.

Science is and should be seen as "completely neutral" on the issue of the theistic or atheistic implications of scientific results.
