“As we conquer peak after peak we see in front of us regions full of interest and beauty, but we do not see our goal, we do not see the horizon; in the distance tower still higher peaks, which will yield to those who ascend them still wider prospects, and deepen the feeling, the truth of which is emphasized by every advance in science, that ‘Great are the Works of the Lord’.” —Sir Joseph J. Thomson, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who is recognized as the founder of atomic physics.

“You ask: what is the meaning or purpose of life? I can only answer with another question: do you think we are wise enough to read God’s mind?”  –Physicist Freeman Dyson. He is the winner of the 1981 Wolf Prize in Physics, the 1993 Enrico Fermi Award, the 1969 Max Planck Medal, amongst many other awards.

“If you study science deep enough and long enough, it will force you to believe in God.” —Lord William Kelvin, who was noted for his theoretical work on thermodynamics, the concept of absolute zero and the Kelvin temperature scale based upon it.

“In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.” —Sir Isaac Newton

“Both religion and science require a belief in God. For believers, God is in the beginning, and for physicists He is at the end of all considerations… To the former He is the foundation, to the latter, the crown of the edifice of every generalized world view.” —Max Planck, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who made the crucial scientific contribution of founding quantum physics.

“I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence. Believe me, everything that we call chance today won’t make sense anymore. To me it is clear that we exist in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance.” –Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist and string theory pioneer. 

“God is a mathematician of a very high order and He used advanced mathematics in constructing the universe.” – Paul A. M. Dirac, Nobel Prize winning physicist, who made crucial early contributions to both quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics.

“The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.” —Werner Heisenberg, who was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics for the creation of quantum mechanics.

“My greatest discovery was that I needed God, and that I was nothing without him and that he loved me and showed his love by sending Jesus to save me.” —Alexander Fleming, the Nobel Prize-winning British bacteriologist who discovered the life-saving antibiotic penicillin.

“The exquisite order displayed by our scientific understanding of the physical world calls for the divine.” —MIT physicist Vera Kistiakowsky

“An equation for me has no meaning unless it expresses a thought of God.” –Srinivasa Ramanujam, who is widely regarded to be one of the greatest mathematicians of all time.
