"Nature is the art of God Eternal."
"There are two books laid before us to study, to prevent our falling into error.
First, the volume of the Scriptures, which reveal the will of God; Then the volume of the creation, which expresses His power."
"Manned space flight is an amazing achievement, but it has opened for mankind thus far only a tiny door for viewing the awesome reaches of space. An outlook through this peephole at the cast mysteries of the universe should only confirm our belief in the certainty of its Creator. I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the inverse as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science."
"Nature is incessantly chanting the praises of the Creator, and nothing can be more religious than the hymns chanted in concert with the winds by the oaks of the forest and the reeds of the desert."
"Nature herself has imprinted on the minds of all the idea of God."
"The chance that a world such as ours should occur without intelligent design becomes more and more remote as we learn of its wonders."
"In many ways, and with innumerable instruments and gifts, God has endowed us and enabled us to study and know nature. We will advance to the point He has desired us to advance and we will not attempt to transgress the limits imposed by Him."
"Nature is a name of an effect , whose cause is God."
"Almighty God does not play dice with the universe."
"I can't say I believe in God; I see Him. Without Him I understand nothing; without Him all is darkness, Every period has its manias. I regard atheism as mania. It is malady of the age. You could take my skin from me more easily than my faith in God."
"If you think strongly enough, you will be forced by science to a belief in God. We must pause, face to face, with the mystery and miracle of creation."
"I am merely striving to think God's thoughts after Him."
"God writes the gospel no in the Bible alone, but on trees on flowers clouds and stars."
"As to the first cause of the universe our picture is incomplete without Him [God]."
