There is a tendency to think that somehow science and faith are opposing concepts. However, this is not the case at all: it is precisely scientists who dedicate their lives to studying the laws that govern the universe and the functioning of the human body who often come to ask questions of a spiritual nature. And many of the greatest scientists of all time, at a certain point in their journey, have stated that the only possible explanation of the logic that governs all things was God.
Here are some quotes from the most famous scientists in history about God.
Isaac Newton
“The entire variety of created things, by places and times, could only be brought into being by the ideas and will of a necessarily existing being.”
Galileo Galilei
“Mathematics is the alphabet in which God wrote the universe.”
Max Planck
“Without the light of the doctrine of Christ, the fundamental problems of human nature are insoluble by science. Without such light, science is without peace.”
Nikola Tesla
“The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power.”
Albert Einstein
“In view of such harmony in the cosmos, which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are still people who say that God does not exist. But what really makes me most angry is that they quote me in support of such views.”
Antonino Zichichi
“Neither Science nor Logic allow us to conclude that God does not exist. No atheist can therefore delude himself into being more logical and more scientific than one who believes. Those who choose atheism therefore make an act of Faith: in nothingness. Believing in God is more logical and more scientific than believing in nothingness.”
Nicolaus Copernicus
“What admirable symmetry of the world and what a sure harmonic connection between the movement and the size of the orbits. So divine is certainly this fabric of the Best and Greatest Craftsman!”
Guglielmo Marconi
“Science is incapable of giving the explanation of life; only faith can provide us with the meaning of existence.”
Johannes Kepler
“The main purpose of every investigation of the external world should be to discover the rational order that has been imposed on it by God and that he has revealed to us with the language of mathematics.”
Martin A. Nowak
“Evolution is an organizing principle of the living world: God uses it to unfold life on earth. God’s creative power and the laws of evolution are not in conflict with each other: God acts through evolution, he is its ultimate cause. Without God there would be no evolution at all. In the same way God uses gravity to organize the structure of the universe on a large scale. Without God there would be no gravity. Neither gravity nor evolution represent challenges to the Christian faith. A truly scientific interpretation of evolution does not lead to an argument against God.”
Fazale Rana
“I became a Christian when I was studying biochemistry. The cell in its complexity, elegance, sophistication and the inadequacy of evolutionary scenarios on the account of the origin of life, led me to conclude that life must derive from a Creator.”
Louis Pasteur
“A little science distances one from God, but much science leads one back to Him.”
These and many other scientists have therefore seen God in the perfection of creation, in the logic that governs the universe, in the magical complexity of the human body. Not by chance then, the Laminin, that is the protein that holds together the structure of the cells of the human body, has the shape of a cross. Perhaps it is God who has left his signature on us...

“Our knowledge of truth is most clearly revealed on the cross of Christ, and that which holds our human body together (Laminin), is it accidental that it has the shape of a cross? Someone might say yes, but I think it is yet another way in which God reveals his glory to us. I think God is the one who holds all things together, our bodies, our world and our lives.”
