  1. Are SCIENCE and FAITH in GOD compatible? Nobel Laureates Speak Out Tommy's Window Slideshow ♫ Turn on your speakers! CLICK TO ADVANCE SLIDES

  2. “I saw in it (the atom) the key to the deepest secret of nature, and it revealed to me the greatness of the creation and the Creator.” - Max Born

  3. “For religion, God is at the beginning; for science, God is at the end.” -Max Planck

  4. “An equation for me has no meaning, unless it represents a thought of God.” - Srinivasa A. Ramanujan

  5. “There is a higher power, not influenced by our wishes, which finally • decides and • judges.” • Werner • Heisenberg

  6. I have endeavored to gain for human reason, aided by geometrical calculation, an insight into His way of creation; may the Creator of the heavens themselves, • the father of all reason, to whom • our mortal senses owe their existence, • may He who is Himself immortal… • keep me in His grace and guard me • from reporting anything about His • work which cannot be justified • before His magnificence or which • may misguide our powers of reason, • and may He cause us to aspire • to the perfection of His works of • creation by the dedication • of our lives… • - Johannes Kepler

  7. “We ought to value the privilege of knowing God’s truth far beyond • anything we can • have in • this world.” • - Michael Faraday

  8. “Almighty God, who has created man in Thine own image, and made him a living soul that he might seek • after Thee, and have dominion over Thy creatures, • teach us to study the works of Thy hands, that we may subdue the earth to our use, and strengthen the reason • for Thy service; so to receive • Thy blessed Word, that we may • believe on Him who Thou has • sent, to give us the knowledge of • salvation and the remission of our • sins.” • - James Clerk Maxwell

  9. "The discovery of natural law is a meeting with God.“ - F. Dessauer

  10. "Those to whom God has imparted religion by intuition are very fortunate and justly convinced. But to those who do not have it, we can give it only by reasoning, waiting for God to give them spiritual insight.“ - Blaise Pascal

  11. "Through steady observation and a meaningful contact with the divined Order of the world's structure, arranged by God's wisdom, - who would not be guided to admire the Builder who creates all!“ - Copernicus

  12. "The wonderful arrangement and harmony of the cosmos would only originate in the plan of an almighty omniscient being. This is and remains my greatest comprehension.“ - Isaac Newton

  13. "We may conclude that from what science teaches us, there is in nature an order independent of man's existence, a meaningful order to which nature and man are subordinate. Both religion and science require faith in God. For believers, God is in the beginning, and for physicists He is at the end of all considerations." - Max Planck

  14. "Overwhelming evidences of an intelligence and benevolent intention surround us, show us the whole of nature through the work of a free will and teach us that all alive beings depend on an eternal creator-ruler.“ - Lord Kelvin

  15. ARTHUR COMPTON (1892-1962) “For me, faith begins with the realization that a supreme intelligence brought the universe into being and created man. It is not difficult for me to have this faith, for an orderly, intelligent universe testifies to the greatest statement ever uttered: ‘In the beginning, God…’” AWARDED THE 1927 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS FOR HIS DISCOVERY OF THE TRANSFER OF ENERGY FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION TO A PARTICLE KNOWN AS THE COMPTON EFFECT.

  16. “If I had no other data than the early chapters of Genesis, some of the Psalms, and other passages of Scripture, I would have arrived at essentially the same picture of the origin of the universe as is indicated by the scientific data.” ARNO PENZIAS (1933- ) AWARDED A 1978 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS FOR THE DISCOVERY OF COSMIC BACKGROUND RADIATION – PATTERNS THAT PHYSICISTS HAVE INTERPRETED AS SHOWING THAT THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED FROM NOTHING.

  17. ERNST BORIS CHAIN (1906 - 1979) “The principle of divine purpose… stares the biologist in the face wherever he looks.…The probability for such an event as the origin of DNA molecules to have occurred by sheer chance is just too small to be seriously considered.” AWARDED A 1945 NOBEL PRIZE IN MEDICINE FOR HIS WORK WITH PENICILLIN.

  18. “When confronted with the marvels of life and the universe, one must ask why the only possible answers are religious.… I find a need for God in the universe and in my own life.” ARTHUR L. SCHAWLOW (1921 - ) SHARED THE 1981 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LASER SPECTROSCOPY.

  19. “Those who say that the study of science makes a man an atheist must be rather silly people.” MAX BORN (1882 - 1970) DEREK BARTON (1918 – 1998) SHARED THE 1954 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS FOR HIS WORK IN QUANTUM MECHANICS. “There is no incompatibility between science and religion… Science shows that God exists.” SHARED THE 1969 NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY FOR THE CONCEPT AND APPLICATIONS OF CONFORMATION.

  20. CHRISTIAN B. ANFINSEN (1916 – 1995) “I think only an idiot can be an atheist.” ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879 – 1955) SHARED THE 1972 NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY FOR HIS WORK IN AMINO-ACID STRUCTURE AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF THE ENZIME RIBONUCLEASE. “I only trace the lines that flow from God.” AWARDED THE 1921 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS FOR HIS WORK IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS, ESPECIALLY THE LAW OF PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT.

  21. “So many of my colleagues are Christians that I can’t walk across my church’s fellowship hall without tripping over a dozen physicists.” WILLIAM D. PHILLIPS (1948 – ) AWARDED THE 1997 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS FOR USING LASERS TO PRODUCE TEMPERATURES ONLY A FRACTION OF A DEGREE ABOVE ABSOLUTE ZERO.

  22. “All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen” The American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson summed up the science-faith connection when he said:

  23. Purpose of all knowledge is to convince us that we should love God .
