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

People tend not to disassociate the technological issues from pure scientific research, so that science sometimes gets a bad name for things that science doesn't deserve having a bad name for.

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.

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.

God gave me the gift of faith. I don't mean that in any miraculous sense, I mean through the parents who educated me, through the brothers and sisters I grew up with, the schools I went to, there was this influence upon me which was the faith, in the concrete. I accepted it, I questioned it, I grew up with it, and in the end, as a mature adult, I continue to accept 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.

I don't use scientific data as a foundation for believing in God - I use it as an enrichment of my knowledge of God.
