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

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.

If I have a fundamental belief that the universe is created by God, then I also come to the belief that that universe reflects God, it gives me some knowledge of Him. Obviously, therefore, the more I know of the universe is, the more enriched my limited knowledge of God is.

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.

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

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