More quotes by Francis Collins
If God made the natural laws, why could he not violate them when it was a particularly significant moment for him to do so? And if you accept the idea that Christ was also divine, which I do, then his Resurrection is not in itself a great logical leap.
Francis Collins
Science's tools will never prove or disprove God's existence.
Francis Collins
I'm a pretty informal guy. I ride a Harley.
Francis Collins
By investigating God's majestic and awesome creation, science can actually be a means of worship.
Francis Collins
[The tests agreed] that I was at higher risk than the average person for Type 2 diabetes, which is what my lab works on. In fact, some of the things they were testing for were variants that we had discovered.
Francis Collins
I trained initially as a physical chemist, and then, after becoming interested in biology, I went to medical school and learned how to be a physician. So, I'm a physician scientist.
Francis Collins
As our closest relatives, they (chimpanzees) tell us special things about what it means to be a primate and, ultimately, what it means to be a human at the DNA level.
Francis Collins
It's interesting when you read the life of Christ how much of his time he spent healing the sick. There must have been a reason for that - he was modelling for us what it is we are intended to do by following his path.
Francis Collins
I think history would say that medical research has, throughout many changes of parties, remained as one of the shining lights of bipartisan agreement, that people are concerned about health for themselves, for their families, for their constituents.
Francis Collins
God is an awesome mathematician and physicist.
Francis Collins
Faith is not the opposite of reason. Faith rests squarely upon reason, but with the added component of revelation.
Francis Collins
What wakes me up at night is this next generation and what's happening to them. And they're invariably excited about the science that they're doing, but invariably anxious about where there's a future.
Francis Collins
I think there are people who's lives have been saved because of the study of the genome.
Francis Collins
When does life begin? When does the soul enter? That's a religious question. Science is not going to be able to help with that.
Francis Collins
Science is... a powerful way, indeed - to study the natural world. Science is not particularly effective... in making commentary about the supernatural world. Both worlds, for me, are quite real and quite important. They are investigated in different ways. They coexist. They illuminate each other.
Francis Collins
God gave us free will, and we may choose to exercise it in ways that end up hurting other people.
Francis Collins
In my own experience as a physician, I have not seen a miraculous healing, and I don't expect to see one.
Francis Collins
The God of the Bible is also the God of the genome. He can be worshipped in the cathedral or in the laboratory. His creation is majestic, awesome, intricate, and beautiful.
Francis Collins
I think God appreciates that we appreciate his creation.
Francis Collins
[Decoding the human genome sequence] is the most significant undertaking that we have mounted so far in an organized way in all of science. I believe that reading our blueprints, cataloguing our own instruction book, will be judged by history as more significant than even splitting the atom or going to the moon.
