Leading minds agree on the existence of God


"The fool hath said in his heart there is no God" Psalm 14:1. These men were obviously no fools.


Sir Isaac Newton:

"This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent Being. … This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont to be called “Lord God”

" This thing [a scale model of our solar system] is but a puny imitation of a much grander system whose laws you know, and I am not able to convince you that this mere toy is without a designer and maker; yet you, as an atheist, profess to believe that the great original from which the design is taken has come into being without either designer or maker! Now tell me by what sort of reasoning do you reach such an incongruous conclusion?"

Albert Einstein:

"God does not play dice."

"Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a Spirit in manifest in the laws of the Universe- A Spirit vasly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble"

Robert Jastow, Director of Nasa's Goddard Institute for space studies:

"I am fascinated by some strange developments going on in astronomy... the astronomical evidence leads to a Biblical view of the origen of the world"

Robert Boyle:

"From a knowledge of His work, we shall know Him""Christ's passion, His death, His resurrection and ascension, and all of those wonderful works which He did during His stay upon earth, in order to confirm mankind in the belief of His being God as well as man."


Michael Faraday:

"Since peace is alone in the gift of God; and as it is He who gives it, why should we be afraid? His unspeakable gift in His beloved Son is the ground of no doubtful hope." --[1861 letter]"The Bible, and it alone, with nothing added to it nor taken away from it by man, is the sole and sufficient guide for each individual, at all times and in all circumstances…For faith in the divinity and work of Christ is the gift of God, and the evidence of this faith is obedience to the commandment of Christ."

James Prescott Joule:

It is evident that an acquaintance with natural laws means no less than an acquaintance with the mind of God therein expressed."

"Order is manifestly maintained in the universe...governed by the sovereign will of God. After the knowledge of, and obedience to, the will of God, the next aim must be to know something of His attributes of wisdom, power, and goodness as evidenced by His handiwork."


James Clerk Maxwell:

" No theory of evolution can be formed to account for the similarity of molecules, for evolution necessarily implies continuous change."

"Almighty God, Who has created man in Thine own image, and made him a living soul that he might seek after Thee,and have dominion over Thy creatures, teach us to study the works of Thy hands, that we may subdue the earth to our use, and strengthen the reason for Thy service; so to receive Thy blessed Word, that we may believe on Him Who Thou has sent, to give us the knowledge of salvation and the remission of our sins. All of which we ask in the name of the same Jesus Christ, our Lord."


Luise Pasteur:

"The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator." "Science brings men nearer to God."

Lord Kelvin:

"Overwhelmingly strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us...the atheistic idea is so non-sensical that I cannot put it into words."
