"When I began my career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable logic of my own special branch of physics." (Frank Tipler, The Physics of Immortality, Doubleday, New York, 1994, Preface)

“Men became scientific because they expected law in nature and they expected law in nature because they believed in a lawgiver.’ It was this conviction that led Francis Bacon (1561–1626), regarded by many as the father of modern science, to teach that God has provided us with two books – the book of Nature and the Bible .” – Professor John Lennox, Oxford University, the motto of which is "The Lord is My Light"

"While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian." --George Washington

“In ten years [I.E. 1980] all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of the coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish.”
“By 1985, enough millions will have died to reduce the earth’s population to some acceptable level, like 1.5 billion people.” (Eco-Catastrophe!, 1969), Paul R. Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist, *scientist*

"The success of Darwinism was accompanied by a decline in scientific integrity. This situation, where scientific men rally to the defence of a doctrine they are unable to define scientifically, much less demonstrate with scientific rigour, attempting to maintain its credit with the public by the suppression of criticism and the elimination of difficulties, is abnormal and undesirable in science." - Professor W. R. Thompson, Introduction to the 1956 reprint of 'The Origin of Species: The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life'

Alarm rather than genuine scientific curiosity, it appears, is essential to maintaining funding. And only the most senior scientists today can stand up against this alarmist gale, and defy the iron triangle of climate scientists, advocates and policymakers. - Richard Lindzen, MIT Professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT (Wall Street Journal, April 12, 2006)
