“I Don’t Believe In God. I Believe In Science!”
“As one Oxford professor once put it for me: ‘Science has buried God.’ In other words, ‘You religious people are just idiots and you need to catch up’. Many people think that science and Christianity are entirely at war with each other, and if you’re going to be a scientist, you’re going to have to forget about something as superstitious as Christianity.”

What About Miracles?
“It was reported that when the first Russian cosmonaut returned to earth he testified that atheism was confirmed, because he had not found God in space. In response, the Christian intellectual C.S. Lewis wrote a letter that argued the universe isn’t a house where God lives in the attic and we have to climb upstairs to find him.”
