I need the binocular approach of science and religion if I am to do any sort of justice to the deep and rich reality of the world in which we live.

Hope is much more than a mood. It involves a commitment to action.... What we hope for should be what we are prepared to work for...as far as that power lies in us.

I very much enjoyed my career in science. I didn't leave science because I was disillusioned, but felt I'd done my bit for it after about twenty-five years.

The remarkable insights that science affords us into the intelligible workings of the world cry out for an explanation more profound than that which itself can provide. Religion, if it is to take seriously its claim that the world is the creation of god, must be humble enough to learn from science what that world is actually like. The dialogue between them can only be mutually enriching.

Those theologians who are beginning to take the doctrine of creation very seriously should pay some attention to science's story.

The rational transparency and beauty of the universe are surely too remarkable to be treated as just happy accidents.

I think it's very important to maintain the classical Christian distinction between the Creator and creation.
