Carlo Rubbia

• The more you observe nature, the more you perceive that there is tremendous organization in all things. It is an intelligence so great that just by observing natural phenomena I come to the conclusion that a Creator exists.
  • Note: The Brazilian magazine Veja asked Carlo Rubbia, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics, “Do you believe in God?

• If we count the galaxies of the world or we show existence of elementary particles, in an analogous way we probably cannot have evidence for God. But, as a research scientist, I am deeply impressed by the order and the beauty that I find in the cosmos, as well as inside the material things. And as an observer of nature, I cannot help thinking that a greater order exists. The idea that all this is the result of randomness or purely statistical diversity is for me completely unacceptable. There is an Intelligence at a higher level, beyond the existence of the universe itself.

• Nature is constructed in such a way that there is no doubt that it cannot be so constructed by casuality. The more one studies the phenomena of nature, the more deeply one becomes convinced of this. There are natural laws of an incredible depth and beauty. One cannot think that all of this can be reduced to an accumulation of molecules.

• The scientist, in particular, fundamentally recognises the existence of a transcendent law, something that is outside and immanent to the natural mechanism. He recognises that this 'something' is the cause, that pulls the strings of the system. It is a 'something' that escapes us.

• The more you look into it, the more you realise that it has nothing to do with casuality.

• Since we all think that our being human is something that puts us above all other living beings on earth, we must also necessarily think that we were made in the image of something even more important than ourselves.

• What is most impressive about the question [of who we are and where we are going] is its universality. It is common to all.
