The Reality Dysfunction (Night's Dawn, #1)

by Peter F. Hamilton

We can look at the whole concept of God and spirituality from a vantage point built on logic and physics. Under such an intensive scientific scrutiny, religion always falls.

All religions claim theirs is the true faith. In actuality, any religion is dependent solely on the strength of conviction in its followers.

And knowing that, knowing what you would endure in life, I still chose to bring you into existence, because there is so much joy to be had from the living.
