To simply dismiss the concept of God as being unscientific is to violate the very objectivity of science itself.

My experiences with science led me to God. They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun?

If we were to start today on an organized and well-supported space program I believe a practical passenger rocket can be built and tested within ten years.

Although I know of no reference to Christ ever commenting on scientific work, I do know that He said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Thus I am certain that, were He among us today, Christ would encourage scientific research as modern man's most noble striving to comprehend and admire His Father's handiwork. The universe as revealed through scientific inquiry is the living witness that God has indeed been at work.
