I am a theist who is fascinated with the origin of the universe.Though i have strong personal religious beliefs my focus here is on scientific evidence for and against a creator. I respect other points of view i and think this topic can be discussed without hatred,cynicism or sarcasm.
The misconception that is perpetrated against theists is that they come to there conclusions because they have come to a point that they cant explain.''I DONT KNOW THEREFORE GOD DID IT''
ASTROPHYSICIST NEAL TYSON admits how little he knows about the universe as do i.In a similar vein to Tysons comments it is what i ''Do'' know about the universe that leads me to conclude there is an intelligence responsible for it. PESTMANPAT
It is difficult to discuss the beginning of the universe without mentioning the concept of God. My work on the origin of the universe is on the borderline between science and religion, but I try to stay on the scientific side of the border. It is quite possible that God acts in ways that cannot be described by scientific laws. Stephen Hawking
The scientist's religious feeling takes the form of rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that,compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection. Albert Einstein
I don't believe in the God you don't believe in "John Lennox"
Assumptions can be dangerous, especially in science. They usually start as the most plausible or comfortable interpretation of the available facts. But when their truth cannot be immediately tested and their flaws are not obvious, assumptions often graduate to articles of faith, and new observations are forced to fit them. Eventually, if the volume of troublesome information becomes unsustainable,the orthodoxy must collapse. John S. Mattick PHD Professor of Molecular Biology
