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

As a scientist, I don't believe science will ever discover whether God exists. Nor do I believe religion will ever prove it.

Novels aren't pedagogical instruments, or instructions in law or physics or any other discipline. A novel has to be an emotional experience, a trip of the imagination, and because science has raised so many issues that concern and affect humans, it's a good starting place for me.

Everywhere you look in science, the harder it becomes to understand the universe without God.

All writers have roots they draw from - travel, work, family. My roots are in science and it is fertile ground for fiction.

With a background in science I am extremely interested in the meeting ground of science, theology, and philosophy, especially the ethical questions at the border of science and theology.
