“My belief makes me no less a scientist”

“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.”

— Owen Gingerich, professor emeritus of astronomy and of the history of science at Harvard University, and senior astronomer emeritus at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory
