Walter Lang Quotes

Time was God's first creation.

What was God doing before the divine creation?

I believe that God made this wonderful universe and all that exists.

Except for a God who sits down after the universe begins, all other gods conflict with the assumptions of science.

I don't even really know what the big bang is, and so when people want to go through and say, 'Well, I believe that the universe started by God starting it,' that's fine by me.

Nothing exists from eternity but God, and God is not the matter or a part of any creature, but only the maker.

The world's creation has a beginning from the world's point of view, not from God's.

My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed.

God created the world; the laws of nature were created by God. True science tries to find out what God put in the world. The trouble is where scientists speculate about theology and they don't know what they're talking about because they weren't there. They can't speculate about the origins of life because they weren't there.

To the mind, God is a perfect criminal. He has done such a perfect crime by creating this world that mind cannot trace how He did it. That is why the mind always freaks out about God.

The split between religion and science is relatively new. Isaac Newton, who first worked out the laws by which gravity held the planets and even the stars in their traces, was sufficiently impressed by the scale and regularity of the universe to ascribe it all to God.

It is not difficult for me to have this faith, for it is incontrovertible that where there is a plan there is intelligence - an orderly, unfolding universe testifies to the truth of the most majestic statement ever uttered - 'In the beginning, God.'

God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

I don't think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn't at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.

For me, I've always believed that there was a God. I've always believed that God created the heavens and earth - so, for me it's not a huge leap from there to intelligent design.

But time is yet another of God's creations, and as such, it has a life of its own.

It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions, and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that God can watch human beings struggle for good and evil — which is the view that religion has. The stage is too big for the drama.

A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory.

Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation.

There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.

I think, if you can prove the existence of God, it can only be proven through love.

I believe in a kind of God. I think all scientists, in a way, believe in a certain God, in a certain order of nature.

It is impossible to imagine the universe run by a wise, just and omnipotent God, but it is quite easy to imagine it run by a board of gods.

Creation is all space, all time - all things past, present, and future.

He was a wise man who originated the idea of God.
