(1) Albert Einstein (1879-1955, 1921 Nobel Laureate, One of a Kind Physicist, Time Magazine's Scientist of the 20th Century):

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.
世界最不可思議的事乃是它根本就是可以思議的。

The scientist is possessed by the sense of universal causation ... His religious feelings takes the f-o-r-m of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.
科學家為普適性的因果關係而感悟得痴迷。。。他的宗教情懷錶現在對自然律和諧一致的欣喜若狂，自然律揭示出一個如此卓越的智慧，人類所有的系統思維與行動與之相比根本就是無關緊要的投射而已。

(2)Stephen Hawking (1942-present, Physicist, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambrige University):

The laws of science, as we know them at present, contain many fundamental numbers, like the size of the electric charge of the electron and ratio of the masses of the proton and the electron....The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been very finely adjusted to make possible the development of life.
我們所知道的科學定律包含許多基本常數，就如電子的電荷大小，質子與電子的質量比值，等等。值得留意的事實乃是，這些常數似乎是經過極其精密的調整，方可為生命催生。

(3) Sir Fred Hoyle (1915-2001, World-Renowned Astronomer, Plumian Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge University):

A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect 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.
對這些事實的一個常識解讀暗示，一個超智者作弄了物理、化學和生物學，自然界裡並沒有什麼盲目的力量可言。在我看來，人從這些事實算出的數值給予上述結論以幾乎毋容置疑的壓倒性支持。

Fred Hoyle (with Chandra Wickramasinghe):

Odds that all the functional proteins necessary for life might f-o-r-m in one place by random chance is 1 in 10 to 40,000th power.
生命所需的所有功能蛋白質在某處隨機出現的幾率是十的四萬次方分之一。

(4) John O'Keefe (Astronomer at NASA):

We are, by astronomical standards, a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures... If the Universe had not been made the most exacting precision we could never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances indicate that the Universe was created for man to live in.
按照天文標準，我們是一群受寵過頭、珍愛有餘、呵護備至的受造物。如果宇宙不是受造精密得無以復加的話，我們壓根兒就是子虛烏有的了。我認為，這些境遇表明宇宙是為了人類生存而被創造的。

(5) Robert Jastrow (Astronomer and Physicist, Founding Director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Director of the Mount Wilson Institute and Hale Solar Laboratory, Author of God and the Astronomer):

For the scientist who has lived by his 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.
對一個終生信靠理性力量的科學家來說，這個故事象惡夢一般完結。他業已攀沿無知之山；他即將征服最高山峰；當他翻越最後一塊山石，卻遇見一幫已經在那裡坐候數世紀的神學家。

(6) Paul Davies (Professor of Natural Philosophy at Australian Centre for Astrobiology at Macquarie University, Prolific author, among his better-known works are God and the New Physics, The Cosmic Blueprint, The Mind of God, The Last Three Minutes, About Time and Are We Alone? How to Build a Time Machine):

Roger Penrose has computed the odds against the observed universe appearing by accident to be 10^(10^30) to one.
羅傑-彭若斯已經算出，可觀察的本宇宙隨機出現的幾率是10的“10的30次方”的次方分之一。

(7) Freeman Dyson (Physicist and Mathematician at Harvard University, President of Space Studies Institute):

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.
我越多查看宇宙及其結構細節，我就越發找到證據：在某種意義上，宇宙想必知道我們要出場。

(8) Lawrence M. Krauss & Glenn D. Starkman (Both Physicists at Case Western Reserve University):

Billions of years ago the universe was too hot for life to exist. Countless eons hence, it will become so cold and empty that life, no matter how ingenious, will perish.
數十億年前，宇宙太熱，不適合生命存在。數不清的歲月之後，宇宙會變得如此冷寂空虛，再有本事的生命也必消亡。

(9) Francis Collins (Geneticist, Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes of Health):

When something new is revealed about the human genome, I experience a feeling of awe at the realization that now humanity knows something only God knew before. It is a deeply moving sensation that helps me appreciate the spiritual side of life, and also makes the practice of science more rewarding. A lot of scientist really don't know what they are missing by not exploring their spiritual feeling. (quoted as saying in Science, vol. 277, p.890, Aug.15 1997)
每當人類基因組有新發現時，我體會一種敬畏的感受，覺悟到人類如今明白了從前只有上帝知道的事。這是一種感人至深的情懷，它幫助我欣賞生命的屬靈層面，也使得從事科學收益更豐。好多的科學家不去發掘他們屬靈的感受，他們真不知所失為何。

(10) Christian de Duve (Molecular Biologist, 1974 Nobel Laureate):

Many of my scientist friends are violently atheist, but there is no sense in which atheism is enforced or established by science. Disbelief is just one of many possible personal views. (quoted as saying in Science, vol. 277, p.890, Aug.15 1997)
我的許多科學家朋友是極端無神論者，但其實科學既不要求也不確立無神論。採取不信不過是許多個人觀點裡的一種。

(11) Joshua Lederberg (Evolutionary Biologist at Rockefeller University, 1958 Nobel Laureate):

Nothing so far disproves the divine. What is incontrovertible is that a religious impulse guides our motive in sustaining scientific inquiry. Beyond that it is all speculation. (quoted as saying in Science, vol. 277, p.890, Aug.15 1997)
迄今沒有任何事否認上帝。無可爭議的是，宗教熱誠引導我們去有心持續探索科學。除此之外，盡屬推測。

(12) Charles Townes (Laser Inventor, 1964 Nobel Laureate, f-o-r-mer provost of MIT):

Science wants to know the mechanism of the universe, religion the meaning. The two cannot be separated. (quoted as saying in Science, vol. 277, p.890, Aug.15 1997)
科學試圖了解宇宙的機理，宗教則闡明其意義。二者不可分裂開來。
