Nobel Prize Winner Says God and Science Can Coexist
The 1997 Gordon Bell Prize and Noble Prize laureate winner in physics, William Phillips, discovered that God can indeed co-exist with science.
Recently the Washington sun gazette ran an article from October 30th which said that in a McLean Virginia meeting of the Lutheran Church, a religious and scientific seminar was held with a hundred or more guests of scientific repute. The main speaker was William Phillips, the 1997
winner of the Noble Prize for his work in physics. At this seminar William Philips expressed his views on God and science and how they could co-exist.
His main argument is that religion and science will not conflict with each other, they can complement each other. He said: "People always try put religion and science against each other; and real scientists do not think they are against each other."
Phillips said that because he was in quantum physics of elementary particles research, he was able to recognize the existence of a God. He said: "To me, here's all this life and it is not accidental..This is a very difficult conclusion to avoid!"
He and his Wesley scientific experiments were done at the seminar. The Wesley faction of the Quartet (Wesleyan Quadrilateral) is a scientific training system based on the Bible, reasoning, tradition and experience-based system of thinking which is then applied to science. Phillips is a strong proponent of this method of scientific discovery.
He said: "For me, from my religious beliefs and desire to explore things from scientific research and to explore things, there are great similarities between them. As a scientist and a Christian, I feel very comfortable."
However, the Nobel laureate said that he would put religion into science so that he could understand life. He said: "Many people think that this exquisite existence of the universe is God's best argument. But I believe that this is not the cause of God." The reason why he believes God is derived from Christ is faith. He was born and raised in the United States of
Pennsylvania the scientist, said: "When a person refers to the faith, I am very traditional." Phillips also compared the
Christian presence in the middle of the doubt, to the doubt found in science mysteries. He said: "I can accept some of the things I can not understand, because in physics there will be violations of the human visual
thinking." Phillips also believes that scientists will never be able to find direct evidence of the existence of God. He said: "I do not believe God would leave any fingerprints."
A parishioner of the church hosting the seminar said: "I think he is very smart, I particularly appreciated the way he answered the questions."
