Can biochemists and natural scientists believe in God?
Scientists not only can but do believe in God. Einstein has said: “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” And Dr. Werner von Braun wrote: “Many people seem to feel that science has somehow made religious ideas (such as immortality) untimely or old-fashioned. I think science has a real surprise for the skeptics. Science tells us that nothing in nature, not even the tiniest particle, can disappear without a trace. Nature does not know extinction. All it knows is transformation.” Einstein also says, “A person who is religiously enlightened appears to me to be one who has, to the best of his ability, liberated himself from the fetters of his selfish desires and is preoccupied with thoughts, feelings, and aspirations to which he clings because of their superpersonal value.” And again: “It is only to the individual that a soul is given. And the highest destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule, or to impose himself in any other way.” Divine Scie
