Science and religion.

I never used to like science. I didn't see much point in it if I'm being honest, especially the really bloody hard stuff. Protons and electrons may matter (excuse the pun) to some people but with my ambitions, I am never going to need to know about them. However, since becoming religious, I have been drawn to science as it brings me closer to God. Science is God's language, a code that we have to crack in order to understand something about our creator. Everything is done with absolute precision and accuracy and it amazes me. Here are some quotes from Angels & Demons by Dan Brown: 

'"Physics?" Vittoria cried. "I thought you loved God!" "I do, very much. Which is why I want to study his divine rules. The laws of physics are the canvas God laid down on which to paint his masterpiece."'

"True science discovers God waiting behind every door."

"New Physics is a surer path to God than religion itself."

"Rectifying science with religion has been my father's life dream. He hoped to prove that science and religion are two totally compatible fields - two different approaches to finding the same truth."

"The Big Bang theory was proposed by a Catholic monk, Georges Lemaitre."

"Science and religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand."

"My father proved not only that matter can be created from nothing, but that the Big Bang AND Genesis can be explained simply by accepting the presence of an enormous source of energy." "You mean God?" Kohler demanded. "God, Buddha, The Force, Yahweh, the singularity, the unicity point - call it whatever you like - the result is the same. Science and religion support the same truth - pure energy is the father of creation."
