British author G.K. Chesterton argued that even blasphemy is a kind of tribute to God, because it is based on belief. "If anyone doubts this," he wrote, "let him sit down seriously and try to think blasphemous thoughts about Thor." —Michael Gerson, The Washington Post
The late Albert Einstein was the most celebrated physicist of the past century. Although he was not traditionally devout, his life was devoted to a search for God through science. "God does not play dice with the universe," he affirmed. "Randomness was no explanation for why things happen. Rather, there are laws behind everything, which simply haven't as yet been discovered."
"Either there is no such thing as a miracle," he said, "or... EVERYTHING IS A MIRACLE!"
Rejecting atheism, Einstein explained: "We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is."
Once, while Einstein was lecturing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a student challenged him by demanding "What is beyond infinity?" Without hesitation the scientist replied: "The face of God!"
"It appears atheists can claim an exhaustive investigation into the entire universe that leaves them with the overwhelming evidence that we are here by random chance. There are whole stretches of land … that haven't been totally explored, but atheists can figure out the entire cosmos with complete conviction that no deity exists." —Peter Rosenberger, Christian public speaker.
"I believe that the more thoroughly science is studied, the further does it take us from anything comparable to atheism." —Lord Kelvin (1824-1907), British physicist. "To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible." —Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274), philosopher and theologian.
