As a religious priest I find it a very enriching experience to do my scientific research.

I can't see for the life of me how an attempt to understand the universe, which I believe comes from God, can alienate us from God.

Neither of us can come to either a knowledge of God, or a denial of God by our scientific research.

Science is and should be seen as "completely neutral" on the issue of the theistic or atheistic implications of scientific results.

I have never come to know God, to see God, to believe in God through doing science. He's not the conclusion of some sort of process of my personal scientific investigation.

I think today the church faces a very real challenge in not repeating the errors of the past, in sort of a stand off, a fear of science.

I hope I'm not giving the impression of an ivory tower science, but for me science is an attempt to understand, it's an attempt to understand the universe.

Being a scientist helps to support both my life as a Jesuit and my belief in God.

Nothing we learn about the universe threatens our faith. It only enriches it.

The whole dimension of religious belief requires transcendence, it requires going beyond what you can establish rationally.

Doing science is not inherently incompatible with religious faith.

Do it because it's right, not because it's right for your resume.

What are you NOT working on that you should?

Silent our body is a sacred temple, A place to connect with other people. Can't we just stay any younger? Really, we might keep it stronger, Elated, rather than so tilted or feeble!!

My dog is half pit-bull, half poodle. Not much of a watchdog, but a vicious gossip!

When I was a kid, I wanted to be an actor. I was acting in all the school plays. I went to school for acting. I was really sure that that's what I wanted to do.

The worst thing we can do is to do nothing.

As the Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel warned years ago, to forget a holocaust is to kill twice.

Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today because if you enjoy it today, you can do it again tomorrow.

In today's society, looking good and feeling good often trumps doing good and being good. And some people don't know the difference anymore.

Each one of us has all the wisdom and knowledge we ever need right within us. It is available to us through our intuitive mind, which is our connection with universal intelligence.
