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

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

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.

The technological overflow from scientific research has brought scientific research this bad name about carrying an irresponsibility and an alienation from God - because scientific research has led to things like the atom bomb, it's led to problems with depletion of ozone in the Earth's atmosphere, or at least it's revealed those problems.

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.

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.
