Nevertheless, just as I believe that the Book of Scripture illumines the pathway to God, so I believe that the Book of Nature, with its astonishing details — the blade of grass, the Conus cedonulli, or the resonance levels of the carbon atom — also suggest a God of purpose and a God of design. And I think my belief makes me no less a scientist.
