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 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.

Neither of us can come to either a knowledge of God, or a denial of God by our scientific research.

Science is and should be seen as "completely neutral" on the issue of the theistic or atheistic implications of scientific results.

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 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.

The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.

Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.

Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.

To "bear arms" is, in itself, a military term. One does not bear arms against a rabbit.

Why, except as a means of livelihood, a man should desire to act on the stage when he has the whole world to act in, is not clear to me.

Any good theorem should have several proofs, the more the better.

I don't particularly enjoy watching international football in the way that I used to. It hurts me to say that, but it's true.

See, that was the problem in relationships when emotion began muddying the waters. It was as if (Lexie) expected him to do or say exactly the right thing at exactly the right time, whatever that was.

Judgements like "right" and "wrong"; only build barriers and encourage shame within individuals.

Companies like I.B.M. have offered women scholarships to study engineering for years, and women engineers routinely get higher starting salaries than men.
