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

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 am kinder to my body. I don't try to prove anything to myself or others. I keep thinking about the need to go slower, gentler and maintain a sense of humor about it all.
