Best Science And Religion Quotes to Inspire, Uplift & Motivate You Every Day

“What kind of a moron demands his devotee to slaughter his son just to prove his loyalty! What kind of an alcoholic father sends his son to be tortured and nailed on a cross just to prove how much he cares! What kind of a pervert rescues his wife from her abductor only to abandon her, just so his reputation as the ideal king wouldn't be tarnished by a violated woman! Mythologies have nothing to do with holiness, nor with the actual creator of the cosmos, even if there is such a thing, at most they reflect the mindset and morality of their time.”

“Dogma not Divine, Myth not Holy (Sonnet 2430)”

“Mythologies have nothing to do with holiness, nor with the actual creator of the cosmos, even if there is such a thing, at most they reflect the mindset and morality of their time.”

“Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.”

“Science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without. Owing to the similarity of our construction and the sameness of our environment, we respond in like manner to similar stimuli, and from the concordance of our reactions, understanding is born. In the course of ages, mechanisms of infinite complexity are developed, but what we call 'soul' or 'spirit,' is nothing more than the sum of the functionings of the body. When this functioning ceases, the 'soul' or the 'spirit' ceases likewise.”

“More than being the spark of reason,”

“It is the natural tendency of the ignorant to believe what is not true. In order to overcome that tendency it is not sufficient to exhibit the true; it is also necessary to expose and denounce the false. To admit that the false has any standing in court, that it ought to be handled gently because millions of morons cherish it and thousands of quacks make their livings propagating it—to admit this, as the more fatuous of the reconcilers of science and religion inevitably do, is to abandon a just cause to its enemies, cravenly and without excuse.”

“Science is observing truth in the light of head. Religion is observing truth in the light of heart. Humanity is using both the lights. And education is developing that humanity.”

“Ignorance is hardly unusual, Miss Davar. The longer I live, the more I come to realize that it is the natural state of the human mind. There are many who will strive to defend its sanctity and then expect you to be impressed with their efforts.”

“God of The Blue Rock (Sonnet)”

“God of the gaps cannot be God of the world, and God of the world should not be abused as god of the gaps.”

“البحث عن الله عز وجل ومحاولة إثبات وجوده ليس أمرا ضد العقلية العلمية، فإن غاية العلم هي توحيد فهم الظواهر المختلفة وإيجاد السبب المشترك بينها (كإيجاد نظرية فيزيائية واحدة تفسر كافة الظواهر الفيزيائية) والله عز وجل هو السبب الحقيقي وراء كافة الظواهر”

“القانون الفيزيائي لا ينبثق من فراغ، ولكنه تعبير عن إرادة واعية، وكما أن القوانين الوضعية التي يُعمل بها في القضاء هي تعبير عن إرادة المشرعين فإن قوانين الطبيعة هي تعبير عن إرادة الخالق سبحانه.”

“إن قدرتنا على التنبؤ بالظواهر الفيزيائية حسب معادلات رياضية لا يعني أن هذه الظواهر مستغنية في حدوثها عن الله عز وجل ولكن يعني فقط أن هناك سنن مستقرة وضعها الخالق لتسير عليها الأشياء.”

“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being...”

“The essence of technology is by no means anything technological.”
