Atheism
From nothing to the Gospel
From nothing to the Gospel
Bernard Bailey. Early 20thC Writer and publisher
“When they discover the centre of the Universe, a lot of people will be disappointed to discover they are not it.”
From nothing to the Gospel
Richard Dawkins. Definition of Biology
“Biology is the study of complicated things, which give the impression of having been designed for a purpose.”
From nothing to the Gospel
Henry Schaefer: Prof of Chemistry & Director of the Centre for Computational Quantum Chemistry at the Uni of Georgia.
“The significance and joy in my science comes in those occasional moments of discovering something new and saying to myself, “So that’s how God did it.”
Francis Collins: Director, National Institutes of Health, and former Director of the Human Genome Project.
“By investigating God’s majestic and awesome creation, science can actually be a means of worship.”
From nothing to the Gospel
Paul Davies: Astrophysicist
“The equations of physics have in them incredible simplicity, elegance and beauty. That in itself is sufficient to prove to me that there must be a God who is responsible for these laws
and responsible for the Universe.” James Jeans: Physicist and Astronomer
“The Universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine.”
From nothing to the Gospel
Arno Penzias: Nobel Laureate. B 1933
“Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing and delicately balanced to provide exactly the conditions required to support life. In the absence of an absurdly-improbable accident, the observations of modern science seem to suggest an underlying, one might say, supernatural plan.”
From nothing to the Gospel
John O’Keefe: Nasa Astronomer
“We are, by astronomical standards, a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures. If the universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances indicate the Universe was created for man to live in.”
From nothing to the Gospel
Ilya Prigogine: Nobel Laureate in Chemistry – awarded in 1977
“The statistical probability that organic structures and the most precisely harmonised reactions that typify living organisms would be generated by accident, is zero.”
From nothing to the Gospel
Stephen Hawking
“Almost everyone now believes that the Universe, and time itself, had a beginning at the Big Bang.”
From nothing to the Gospel
Francis Collins: Scientist / Book ‘The language of God’
“We have a very solid conclusion that the universe had an origin, the Big Bang. The universe began with an unimaginably bright flash of energy from an infinitesimally small point. That implies that before that, there was nothing. I can’t imagine how nature, in this case the universe, could have created itself. And the very fact that the universe had a beginning implies that someone was able to begin it. And it seems to me that had to be outside of nature.”
From nothing to the Gospel
Francis Collins: Scientist / Book ‘The language of God’
“When you look from the perspective of a scientist at the universe, it looks as if it knew we were coming. There are 15 constants – the gravitational constant, various constants about the strong and weak nuclear force etc – that have precise values. If any one of those constants was off by even one part in a million, or in some cases, by one part in a million million, the universe could not have actually come to the point where we see it. Matter would not have been able to coalesce, there would have been no galaxy, stars, planets or people.”
