Regarding the complex and seemingly impossible equilibrium of nuclear reactions taking place in red giants, one of the 20th Centuries most recognized astrophysicists, Fred Hoyle, stated:

"A commonsense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question."

Although Fred Hoyle was an atheist, he said that some things he had studied could not have possibly happened by chance.

On this same topic astrophysicist George Greensteen wrote:

"There are three quite separate structures in this story-helium, beryllium, and carbon-and two quite separate resonances. It is hard to see why these nuclei should work together so smoothly…Other nuclear reactions do not proceed by such a remarkable chain of lucky breaks…It is like discovering deep and complex resonances between a car, a bicycle, and a truck. Why should such disparate structures mesh together so perfectly? Upon this our existence, and that of every life form in the universe, depends." The Symbiotic Universe, p. 43-44

"By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth." "Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing." Psalm 33:6, 145:16

“As we survey all the evidence, the thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency - or, rather, Agency - must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially crafted the cosmos for our benefit?” -George Greenstein

"The scientist is possessed by the sense of universal causation...His religious feeling takes the form of rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals the intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection. - Albert Einstein (theoretical physicist)


"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard." Psalm 19:1-3

"The laws of science, as we know them at the present, contain many fundamental
numbers, like the size of the electron charge of the electron and the ratio of the masses
of the proton to the electron... The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers
seem to have been very finely adjusted to make possible the development for life."
- Stephen Hawking

"He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." Psalm 147:4

“The more I examine the universe and the details of its architecture, the more evidence I
find that the universe in some sense must have known we were coming.” - Freeman Dyson (physicist)

“The exquisite order displayed by our scientific understanding of the physical world calls
for the divine.” - Vera Kistiakowsky (physicist)

"For the scientist who has lived his dream by faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." - Robert Jastrow (astronomer and physicist)

"I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts."
Psalm 119:100
