Paul Davies cytaty

„Ateiści twierdzą, że prawa przyrody istnieją bez powodu i że wszechświat jest w ostatecznym rachunku niedorzeczny. Nie mogę się z tym zgodzić jako naukowiec. Musi istnieć niezmienna podstawa racjonalna będąca korzeniem logicznej i uporządkowanej natury wszechświata.”

O Bogu , O naturze , O wszechświecie

„Nie jest rzeczą możliwą być naukowcem, nawet naukowcem ateistą, i oprzeć się wrażeniu groźnego piękna, harmonii i pomysłowości przyrody. To, co mnie najbardziej uderza, to istnienie ukrytego, matematycznego porządku. Jak można przyjąć tak finezyjnie zaaranżowany, tak subtelny i trafny układ rzeczywistości jako zwyczajny fakt, jako zbiór właściwości, które po prostu się zdarzyły? Oczywiście, nauka nie jest w stanie dowieść istnienia celowości lub też Stwórcy, ale może ukazać całą głębie pomysłowości, która tworzy wspaniały świat.”

Paul Davies: Cytaty po angielsku

“Matter as such has been demoted from its central role, to be replaced by concepts such as organization, complexity and information.”

“That the universe has organized its own self-awareness – is for me powerful evidence that there is 'something going on' behind it all. The impression of design is overwhelming. Science may explain all the processes whereby the universe evolves its own destiny, but that still leaves room for there to be a meaning behind existence.”

“To a physicist like me, life looks to be little short of magic: all those dumb molecules conspiring to achieve such clever things!”

“Science, it is usually believed, helps us to build a picture of objective reality – the world 'out there'. With the advent of the quantum theory, that very reality appears to have crumbled, to be replaced by something so revolutionary and bizarre that its consequences have not yet been properly faced.”

“In each and every one of us lies a message. It is inscribed in an ancient code, its beginnings lost in the mists of time. Decrypted, the message contains instructions on how to make a human being. Nobody wrote the message; nobody invented the code. They came into existence spontaneously. Their designer was Mother Nature herself, working only within the scope of her immutable laws and capitalizing on the vagaries of chance. The message isn't written in ink or type, but in atoms, strung together in an elaborately arranged sequence to form DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid. It is the most extraordinary molecule on Earth.”

“What is remarkable is that human beings are actually able to carry out this code-breaking operation, that the human mind has the necessary intellectual equipment for us to "unlock the secrets of nature"…”

“In the emerging picture of mankind in the universe, the future (if it exists) will surely entail discoveries about space and time which will open up whole new perspectives in the relationship between mankind, mind, and the uni-verse.… But what is now? There is no such thing in physics; it is not even clear that ‘now’ could ever be described, let alone explained, in terms of physics.… Notions such as ‘the past,’ ‘the present’ and ‘the future’ seem to be more linguistic than physical.… There is no universal now, but only a personal one—a ‘here and now.’ This strongly suggests that we look to the mind, rather than to the physical world, as the origin of the division of time into past, present, and future.…There is none of this in physics.… No physical experiment has ever been performed to detect the passage of time. As soon as the objective world of reality is considered, the passage of time disappears like a ghost into the night.”

“The laws of nature are rigged not only in favor of complexity, or just in favor of life, but also in favor of mind. To put it dramatically, it implies that mind is written into the laws of nature in a fundamental way.”

“Human beings have always been struck by the complex harmony and intricate organization of the physical world. The march of the heavenly bodies across the sky, the rhythms of the seasons, the pattern of a snowflake, the myriads of living creatures so well adapted to their environment – all these things seem too well arranged to be a mindless accident.”

“I cannot believe that our existence in this universe is a mere quirk of fate, an accident of history, an incidental blip in the great cosmic drama. Our involvement is too intimate.”

“The brain is the medium of expression of the human mind. Similarly the entire physical universe would be the medium of expression of the mind of a natural God.”
