“The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard, who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by 'God,' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.” 
-Carl Sagan

"I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world."
-Richard Dawkins

"If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed. If you like, you can say the laws are the work of God, but that is more a definition of God than a proof of his existence." 
-Stephen Hawking

Romans 8:6-8

“There are Christians that begin with the Spirit, but end with the flesh. They are converted, born again through the Spirit, but fall unconsciously into a life in which they endeavor to overcome sin and be holy through their own exertion, through doing their best. They ask God to help them in these their endeavors, and think that this is faith. They do not understand what it is to say: ‘In me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing,’ and that therefore they are to cease from their own endeavors, in order to do God’s will, wholly and only through the Spirit.”
Andrew Murray, The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples of Christ (New York: Hurst & Company, 1891), 119–120.
