The redefinition of science

"The redefinition of science in materialistic terms -- never wholly successful, but probably now the predominant view -- required the confluence of several intellectual currents. The attack on religious belief in general, and Christianity in particular, has been underway for more than two centuries."

--Dan Peterson, quoted from "What's the Big Deal About Intelligent Design" published in the December 2005 issue of the American Spectator

Stephen Hawking on the Laws of Physics

"The universe and the laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us. If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist: Either atoms would not be stable, or they wouldn't combine into molecules, or the stars wouldn't form heavier elements, or the universe would collapse before life could develop, and so on."

Stephen Hawking, quoted by Mark Cahill in "One Heartbeat Away" p. 24

Sir Issac Newton on Atheism

"Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance."

--Sir Issac Newton
