Scientist are incliner to intelligent design in the universe
Paul Devies, known astrophysicist:
“There is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on behind it all… It seems as though somebody has fine-tuned natures numbers to make the Universe… The impression of design is overwhelming. … Laws [of physics] seem to be the product of an extraordinarily genius constructing. The universe must have a goal”.
Max Plank, Nobel prize in physics:
“…Both religion and natural science require faith in God for their validity, then for the first (religion) God stands at the beginning, and for the second (science), at the conclusion of all intellectual activity. … The most direct proof of religion and science compatibility is the historical fact that the greatest naturalists of all times – Keler, Newton, Leibnitz etc.- were filled with deep religiousness”.
Wernher von Braun, pioneer of rocket engineering:
“I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science”.
Michel Gerard, known biologist:
“…Laws of physics and chemistry tell us: “There must necessarily exist an intelligent design, there must exist a Creator, a Creator who has ordered the information”. This explanation is the most scientific of all available today”.
Arno Penzias, Nobel prince in physics:
“Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with the very delicate balance, needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life and one which has an underlying (one might say “supernatural”) plan.
Yuriy Altukhov, known Russian geneticist:
“Intricacy, complexity and self regulation in the world of living things are such that one unavoidably comes to a conclusion of existence of a Plan, and consequently no place remains for a chance. … Faith and objective scientific knowledge do not conflict with each other”.
Vladimir Fortov, Vice-Pres. of the Rus. Acad. of Sciences:
“The facts accumulated lately by different scientific disciplines prejudice the “unchallengeable” theories of the past, for example Darwinism theory of life’s self generation on Earth, the commonly accepted calculation of geological epochs…”
