In Their Own Words

Many scientists unhesitatingly declare their belief in a Creator. Although some have broad and vague ideas about who God is, they still agree that the evidence points to an intelligent Designer. Note the following comments:

Nautilus

 As a scientist, I look at the world around me, and observe engineering mechanisms of such remarkable complexity that I am drawn to the conclusion of intelligent design being behind such complex order. 
—ANDREW MCINTOSH, MATHEMATICIAN, WALES, UNITED KINGDOM

 
A fish swimming

 The complexity of nature clearly points to a Creator. Every biological and physical system, once understood, shows incredible complexity. 
—JOHN K. G. KRAMER, BIOCHEMIST, CANADA

A dragonfly

 The order of the living world is plainly evident. It was set up by a superior Power that I personally call God. It is here that faith agrees with scientific truth. Far from contradicting it, it completes it, providing a simpler understanding of our universe. 
—JEAN DORST, BIOLOGIST, FRANCE

A flower

 I cannot imagine the universe and human life without an intelligent beginning, without a source of spiritual 'warmth' that lies beyond matter and its laws. 
—ANDREY DMITRIYEVICH SAKHAROV, NUCLEAR PHYSICIST, RUSSIA

Penguins

 Each animal is in some way uniquely designed to suit its particular environment, and I cannot help but attribute the complexity of the design to a Creator, rather than to random evolutionary forces. 
—BOB HOSKEN, BIOCHEMIST, AUSTRALIA
