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

"The idea that the universe was caused by chance is one of the most deeply ingrained and widespread theories in modern science. Yet when considered rationally it is seen to be the modern equivalent of the myths of old for it attributes causal power to a non-existent entity."

--RC Sproul, quoted from his lecture notes "Creation or Chaos"

"(Chance) has become the softest pillow in all of scientific history. It serves as a magic tool for making shabby philosophizing a most respectable attitude.”

Stanley Jaki, as quoted by R.C. Sproul in his lectures for "Creation or Chaos"

ID is 'not science'?

"The assertion that intelligent design is automatically 'not science' because it may support the concept of a creator is a statement of material philosophy, not of any intrinsic requirement of science itself."

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