      I am a bit spiritual. I believe in karma. However I do not let my personal beliefs interfere with my scientific work or thinking.

      I’m not religious but it has nothing to do with science! I think you can believe in both 🙂

      I’m religious, and I’m not the only scientist to have faith. Here are some others:
      .
      Georges Lemaître, who first came up with the idea of the Big Bang
      Louis Pasteur, who came up with the idea of pasteurising milk
      Galileo Galilei, who championed our current idea of a solar system
      Isaac Newton, who came up with a lot of our understanding of gravitation, mathematics and light
      Leonardo da Vinci, regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time
      Charles Darwin, who came up with the idea of natural selection in evolution
      Enrico Fermi, who worked on sub-atomic physics and won a Nobel prize
      John van Neumann, who came up with the idea for the architecture of most modern computers
      Plus many, many more!
