God and Science What Do Scientists Believe By Susan Diamond

Erwin Schroedinger

Before computers, there was a state-of-the-art model for atoms and molecules, which gave the world something called "final wave mechanics." Some say this application of Modern Quantum Mechanics is the predecessor to technology as we know it. Austrian physicist Erwin Schroedinger is the man responsible and the author of this quote on God and science:

"I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is very deficient. It gives a lot of factual information, puts all our experiences in a magnificently consistent order, but is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us a word about red and blue, bitter and sweet, physical pain and physical delight; it knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, god and eternity."
