Science and religion

  • A humble knowledge of oneself is a surer road to God than a deep searching of the sciences. ~ Thomas a Kempis
  • Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God. ~ Maria Mitchell
  • Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.~ Eleanor Roosevelt
  • God is the name we give our conscience. ~ Nader Shureih
  • God is to me that creative Force, behind and in the universe, who manifests Himself as energy, as life, as order, as beauty, as thought, as conscience, as love. ~ Henry Sloane Coffin
  • God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won’t. ~ Author Unknown
  • I find it hard to believe that the machine would go into the creative artist’s hand even were that magic hand in true place. It has been too far exploited by industrialism and science at expense to art and true religion. ~ Frank Lloyd Wright
  • Life is really about a spiritual unfolding that is personal and enchanting — an unfolding that no science or philosophy or religion has yet fully clarified. ~ James Redfield
  • No doubt it is true that science cannot study God, but it hardly follows that God had to keep a safe distance from everything that scientists want to study. ~ Phillip E. Johnson
  • No great advance has ever been made in science, politics, or religion, without controversy. ~ Lyman Beecher
  • Religions are the great fairy tales of conscience. ~ George Santayana
  • Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions. ~ Oscar Wilde
  • Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. ~ Pope John Paul II
  • Science investigates religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • Science is a game we play with God, to find out what his rules are. ~ Cornelius Krasel
  • Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. Albert Einstein
  • The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals. ~ William James
  • The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • The wise man regulates his conduct by the theories both of religion and science. But he regards these theories not as statements of ultimate fact but as art-forms. ~ John B. S. Haldane
  • Theology is a science of mind applied to God. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
  • There comes a time when every scientist, even God, has to write off an experiment. ~ P. D. James
