The Hidden Face of God Quotes

“The real question is why is there “being”? The existence of existence is amazing, awesome.”
― Gerald Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God: How Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth

“The mystery that remains in the sunset is the riddle of why and how a mixture of seemingly inert, unthinking atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and several other varieties can produce humans capable of having the subjective experience we refer to as beauty, or the love that would have us kiss our kids good night. Science is no closer to answering those questions today than it was a century ago.”

“The further philosophical problem of there having been a beginning arises with the idea that the beginning of our universe marks the beginning of time, space, and matter. Before our universe came into being, there is every scientific indication that time did not exist. Whatever brought the universe into existence must of course predate the universe, which in turn means that whatever brought the universe into existence must predate time. That which predates time is not bound by time. Not inside of time. In other words, it is eternal. If the laws of physics, or at least some aspect of the laws of physics, did the job of creation, those laws by necessity are eternal.”

“From the tiniest grain of sand to the brain of an Einstein, all existence, animate and inanimate, is the product of the same ninety-two elements that are themselves the harvest of the energy of the creation. At every turn an underlying commonality, a unity, emerges from within the diversity.”
― Gerald Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God: How Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth

― Gerald Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God: How Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth

“In laboratories, we can see the results of experiments but we can’t follow the reactions that lead to those results. The paths of those reactions may reside outside the physical measurements of length, width, height, and time. Physics has entered the metaphysical, the realm beyond the physically perceivable, in the fullest sense of that word.”
― Gerald Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God: How Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth

“Yet knowing the physics steals none of the wonder as the sky turns from blue to crimson, then deep purple, and finally embraces the black of night as Earth’s rotation”
― Gerald Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God: How Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth

“Gravity is always attractive.”
― Gerald Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God: Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth

“Is a joke truly funny when we laugh at it, or is it merely some aberration of our frontal lobe?”
