"Although I know of no reference to Christ ever commenting on
scientific work, I do know that He said, “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.( John 8:32) ” Thus I am certain that, were He among us today, Christ would encourage scientific research as modern man’s most noble striving to comprehend and admire His Father’s handiwork. The universe as revealed through scientific inquiry is the living witness that God has indeed been at work." —Wernher von Braun, rocket pioneer, 1976.
