Max Planck (1858-1947) won the 1918 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his work
on the establishment and development of the theory of elementary
quanta." Max Planck is universally recognized as the father of modern
physics.
----Both religion and science need for their activities the belief in
God, and moreover God stands for the former in the beginning, and for
the latter at the end of the whole thinking. For the former, God
represents the basis, for the latter - the crown of any reasoning
concerning the world-view. Man needs science as a tool of perception; he
needs religion as a guide to action..
Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976) was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in
Physics "for the creation of quantum mechanics, the application of which
has, inter alia, led to the discovery of the allotropic forms of
hydrogen." In 1927 Heisenberg published the famous principle of
uncertainty (indeterminacy) that bears his name.
----Religion is therefore the foundation of ethics, and ethics the
presupposition of life. i cannot see my self as a atheist.
Robert Andrews Millikan (1868-1953) won the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physics
"for his work on the elementary charge of electricity and on the
photoelectric effect." Millikan determined the charge of the electron
and verified Einstein's photoelectric equation.
----To me it is unthinkable that a real atheist could be a
scientist..Religion and science, then, in my analysis are the two great
sister forces which have pulled, and are still pulling, mankind onward
and upward.
The inventor of the laser, Charles Hard Townes (born 1915) received the
1964 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his fundamental work in the field of
quantum electronics, which has led to the construction of oscillators
and amplifiers based on the maser-laser principle." Charles Townes is
the founder of laser science.
----I strongly believe in the existence of God, based on intuition,
observations, logic, and also scientific knowledge.I think all of
science, in a sense, comes from belief in order in the universe. That's
part of scientific faith, that there is order and reliability, and so
on, and that's part of the Judeo-Christian tradition, that there is one
God
Arthur Schawlow (1921-1999) co-inventor of the laser, won the 1981 Nobel
Prize in Physics for his contribution to the development of laser
spectroscopy and for his revolutionary work in the spectroscopic
analysis of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.
Schawlow and Charles Townes hold the original patent for the laser; they
are the founders of laser science.
----I find a need for God in the universe and in my own life..The world
is just so wonderful that I can't imagine it was just having come by
pure chance.
William D. Phillips (born 1948) was granted the 1997 Nobel Prize in
Physics "for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser
light" and the 1998 Arthur Schawlow Prize in Laser Science.
---I believe in God. In fact, I believe in a personal God who acts in
and interacts with the creation. I believe that the observations about
the orderliness of the physical universe, and the apparently exceptional
fine-tuning of the conditions of the universe for the development of
life suggest that an intelligent Creator is responsible.
William Henry Bragg (1862-1942) was awarded the 1915 Nobel Prize in
Physics for his contribution to the analysis of crystal structures by
means of X-rays.
---From religion comes a man's purpose; from science, his power to
achieve it. Sometimes people ask if religion and science are not opposed
to one another. They are: in the sense that the thumb and fingers of my
hand are opposed to one another. It is an opposition by means of which
anything can be grasped."
Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) received the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics
for his invention of the first successful system of wireless telegraphy.
Marconi is the inventor of the radio; his revolutionary work made
possible the electronic communications of the modern world.
----The more I work with the powers of Nature, the more I feel God's
benevolence to man..I am proud to be a Christian. I believe not only as
a Christian, but as a scientist as well. A wireless device can deliver a
message through the wilderness. In prayer the human spirit can send
invisible waves to eternity, waves that achieve their goal in front of
God."
Arthur Holly Compton (1892-1962) was granted the 1927 Nobel Prize in
Physics for his discovery of the Compton effect, i.e. the change in the
wavelength of X-rays when they collide with electrons
---To me God appears in three aspects, all of which are closely related.
The first aspect of God is universally recognized. It is simply the best
one knows, to which he devotes his life. This best includes the love of
one's fellow men, particularly those for whom one has some special
responsibility. It includes truth of whatever kind may serve as a guide
to life.
Arno Penzias (born 1933) won the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics for the
discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation, which supported the
Big Bang theory of the creation of the Universe.
---The best data we have are exactly what I would have predicted, had I
had nothing to go on but the five books of Moses, the Psalms, the Bible
as a whole..
Sir Nevill Mott (1905-1996) received the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physics for
his research on the magnetic and electrical properties of noncrystalline
semiconductors.
---- believe in God, who can respond to prayers, to whom we can give
trust and without whom life on this earth would be without meaning (a
tale told by an idiot). I believe that God has revealed Himself to us in
many ways and through many men and women, and that for us here in the
West the clearest revelation is through Jesus and those that have
followed him.
I. Rabi (1898-1988) won the 1944 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on
the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei.
----Physics filled me with awe, put me in touch with a sense of original
causes. Physics brought me closer to God. That feeling stayed with me
throughout my years in science. Whenever one of my students came to me
with a scientific project, I asked only one question, `Will it bring you
nearer to God?'
Antony Hewish (born 1924) received the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics for
his discovery of pulsars.
---I believe in God. It makes no sense to me to assume that the Universe
and our existence is just a cosmic accident, that life emerged due to
random physical processes in an environment which simply happened to
have the right property
Joseph H. Taylor, Jr. (born 1941) received the 1993 Nobel Prize in
Physics for the discovery of the first known binary pulsar, and for his
work, which supported the Big Bang theory of the creation of the
Universe.
----A scientific discovery is also a religious discovery. There is no
conflict between science and religion. Our knowledge of God is made
larger with every discovery we make about the world
Alexis Carrel (1873-1944) won the 1912 Nobel Prize in Medicine and
Physiology "for his work on vascular suturing and the transplantation of
blood-vessels and organs." Carrel single-handedly created the method for
transplanting organs from one human body to the other. He is the founder
of modern transplantology.
---The need of God expresses itself in prayer. Prayer is a cry of
distress; a demand for help; a hymn of love.The need of God expresses
itself in prayer. Prayer is a cry of distress; a demand for help; a hymn
of love.
Sir John Eccles (1903-1997) received the 1963 Nobel Prize in Medicine
and Physiology for establishing the relationship between inhibition of
nerve cells and repolarization of a cell's membrane
---Science and religion are very much alike. Both are imaginative and
creative aspects of the human mind. The appearance of a conflict is a
result of ignorance.
Joseph E. Murray (born 1919) was granted the 1990 Nobel Prize in
Medicine and Physiology for work that "proved to a doubting world that
it was possible to transplant organs to save the lives of dying
patients." Murray was the first to perform kidney transplants. He is one
of the founders of modern transplantology
---We're just working with the tools God gave us. There's no reason that
science and religion have to operate in an adversarial relationship.
Both come from the same source, the only source of truth - the Creator
Sir Ernst Chain (1906-1979) received the 1945 Nobel Prize in Medicine
and Physiology "for the discovery of penicillin and its curative effect
in various infectious diseases."
---I have said for years that speculations about the origin of life lead
to no useful purpose as even the simplest living system is far too
complex to be understood in terms of the extremely primitive chemistry
scientists have used in their attempts to explain the unexplainable that
happened billions of years ago. God cannot be explained away by such
naive thoughts...
George Wald (1906-1997) received the 1967 Nobel Prize in Medicine and
Physiology for his work on the biochemistry of vision
----Most modern biologists, having reviewed with satisfaction the
downfall of the spontaneous generation hypothesis, yet unwilling to
accept the alternative belief in special creation, are left with
nothing..When it comes to the origin of life there are only two
possibilities: creation or spontaneous generation. There is no third
way. Spontaneous generation was disproved one hundred years ago, but
that leads us to only one other conclusion, that of supernatural
creation. We cannot accept that on philosophical grounds; therefore, we
choose to believe the impossible: that life arose spontaneously by
chance!"
Sir Derek Barton (1918-1998) won the 1969 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for
his contribution to the development of the conformational analysis (the
study of the three-dimensional geometric structure of complex molecules)
as an essential part of organic chemistry.
---"God is Truth. There is no incompatibility between science and
religion. Both are seeking the same truth. Science shows that God exists
Christian Anfinsen (1916-1995) was awarded the 1972 Nobel Prize in
Chemistry "for his work on ribonuclease, especially concerning the
connection between the amino acid sequence and the biologically active
conformation." Anfinsen is a pioneer in the study of enzymes.
---- think only an idiot can be an atheist. We must admit that there
exists an incomprehensible power or force with limitless foresight and
knowledge that started the whole universe going in the first place.
Anfinsen converted to Orthodox Judaism, a commitment he retained for the
rest of his life; he maintained that he had been deeply impressed by the
"the history, practice and intensity of Judaism and god of the bible
Walter Kohn (born 1923) won the 1998 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his
work on the development of the density functional theory, which
fundamentally transformed scientists' approach to the electronic
structure of atoms and molecules.
---I am very much of a scientist, and so I naturally have thought about
religion also through the eyes of a scientist. When I do that, I see
religion not denominationally, but in a more, let us say, deistic sense.
I have been influenced in my thinking by the writings of Einstein who
has made remarks to the effect that when he contemplated the world he
sensed an underlying Force much greater than any human force. I feel
very much the same. There is a sense of awe, a sense of reverence, and a
sense of great mystery." There are essential parts of the human
experience about which science intrinsically has nothing to say. I
associate them with an entity which I call God."
Richard Smalley (1943-2005) won the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for
the discovery of fullerenes - the third elemental form of carbon (along
with graphite and diamond). Upon his passing, the US Senate passed a
resolution to honor Smalley, crediting him as the "Father of
Nanotechnology."
---Recently I have gone back to church regularly with a new focus to
understand as best I can what it is that makes Christianity so vital and
powerful in the lives of billions of people today, even though almost
2000 years have passed since the death and resurrection of Christ.God
did create the universe about 13.7 billion years ago, and of necessity
has involved Himself with His creation ever since. The purpose of this
universe is something that only God knows for sure, but it is
increasingly clear to modern science that the universe was exquisitely
fine-tuned to enable human life
Albert Einstein ...wasnt atheist for sure...and in another way he was
not full theist..
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics
for his contributions to Quantum Theory and for his discovery of the law
of the photoelectric effect. Einstein is one of the founders of modern
physics; he is the author of the Theory of Relativity
---I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in
this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want
to know His thoughts, the rest are details." (Einstein, as cited in
Ronald Clark, Einstein: The Life and Times, London, Hodder and Stoughton
Ltd., 1973, 33).
---The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the
sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to
whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer stand rapt in awe, is
as good as dead. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a
superior Reasoning Power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible
Universe, forms my idea of God
---In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human
mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no
God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the
support of such views." (Einstein, as cited in Clark 1973, 400; and
Jammer 2002, 97).
---My religiosity consists in a humble admiration of the infinitely
superior Spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak
and transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality." (Einstein
1936, as cited in Dukas and Hoffmann 1979, 66).
----The deeper one penetrates into nature's secrets, the greater becomes
one's respect for God." (Einstein, as cited in Brian 1996, 119).
---No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of
Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with
such life." (Einstein, as cited in Viereck 1929; see also Einstein, as
cited in the German magazine Geisteskampf der Gegenwart, Guetersloh,
1930, S. 235).
there many more great scientists who believe in god and the bible..they
might be out of their minds...but they are world greatest minds
