“When we look carefully at ourselves in the mirror of God’s Word and see flaws, even evidences of selfishness, we might become discouraged. If that ever happens to you, reflect on the successful man in James’ illustration. James did not stress how quickly the man fixed the problems he detected or even that he was able to correct every blemish; rather, James says that the man ‘continued in the perfect law. (Jas. 1:25) He remembered what he saw in the mirror and kept working to improve. Yes, keep a positive view of yourself and a balanced view of your imperfections. (Ecclesiastes 7:20.) Continue to peer into the perfect law, and work to maintain your spirit of self-sacrifice. Jehovah is willing to help you, as he has helped so many of your brothers who, although imperfect, can and do have God’s favor and blessing”

― 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.”
― 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

“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

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

“We can say the word “metaphysical,” meaning that which exists outside of the physical, but we cannot comprehend the metaphysical.”

“Wisdom, information, an idea, is the link between the metaphysical Creator and the physical creation. It is the hidden face of God.”
― Gerald Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God: How Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth

“The claim in Psalms that “the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament proclaims His works” (Psalms 19:2) is not a mere metaphor. The study of nature, even with all its intellectual rigor, is filled with spiritual wonder.”
― Gerald Schroeder, God According to God: A Physicist Proves We've Been Wrong About God All Along

“It simply lies beyond the capacity of the human mind. And if the Bible is correct, then what created our universe, God, was and is metaphysical.”

“Light beams became alive, and became not only alive, but self-aware, and acquired the ability to wonder. The wonder is not whether this genesis took six days or fourteen billion years or even eternity.”
― Gerald Schroeder, God According to God: A Physicist Proves We've Been Wrong About God All Along

“According to our best understanding of the universe and equally according to the most ancient commentaries on the book of Genesis, there was only one physical creation. Science refers to it as the big bang. The Bible calls it the creation of the heavens and the earth. Every physical object in this vast universe, including our human bodies, is built of the light of creation.”

“Now if there is anything in this universe for which we do not have an "inkling," it is the ultimate goal of the Creator. Erroneous notions regarding this goal often stem from the misconception that all existence exists for man alone. The foible in this perception of the universe is the failure to realize that existence itself is good. The Five Books of Moses are bracketed by explicit statements of the worth of being. At the start we are told: "And God saw all that was made and behold it was very good" (Gen. 1:31)”
― Gerald Schroeder, Genesis and the Big Bang: The Discovery Of Harmony Between Modern Science And The Bible

“Why is there an “is”? Why is there something rather than nothing? For that answer both science and religion must turn to the metaphysical.”
― Gerald Schroeder, God According to God: A Physicist Proves We've Been Wrong About God All Along

― Gerald Schroeder, God According to God: A Physicist Proves We've Been Wrong About God All Along
