“The more you observe nature, the more you perceive that there is tremendous organization in all things. It is an intelligence so great that just by observing natural phenomena I come to the conclusion that a Creator exists.”
Carlo Rubbia (born 1934) first seen 1998 wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
Recorded in: Source: Evolution Is Not a Fact, Awake! magazine, 1998, 8/8.
“If we count the galaxies of the world or we show existence of elementary particles, in an analogous way we probably cannot have evidence for God. But, as a research scientist, I am deeply impressed by the order and the beauty that I find in the cosmos, as well as inside the material things. And as an observer of nature, I cannot help thinking that a greater order exists. The idea that all this is the result of randomness or purely statistical diversity is for me completely unacceptable. There is an Intelligence at a higher level, beyond the existence of the universe itself.”

Recorded in: C. Rubbia, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, märz 1993. As quoted in If science exists, this means that there's a Logic, fame physicist said (April 4, 2017)
“Nature is constructed in such a way that there is no doubt that it cannot be so constructed by casuality. The more one studies the phenomena of nature, the more deeply one becomes convinced of this. There are natural laws of an incredible depth and beauty. One cannot think that all of this can be reduced to an accumulation of molecules.”

“The scientist, in particular, fundamentally recognises the existence of a transcendent law, something that is outside and immanent to the natural mechanism. He recognises that this 'something' is the cause, that pulls the strings of the system. It is a 'something' that escapes us.”

“The more you look into it, the more you realise that it has nothing to do with casuality.”

“Since we all think that our being human is something that puts us above all other living beings on earth, we must also necessarily think that we were made in the image of something even more important than ourselves.”

“What is most impressive about the question [of who we are and where we are going] is its universality. It is common to all.”

“To know in the sense of Science is to predict. It is the ability to mathematize, calculate, measure, that allows modern man to build a bridge by predicting the mechanical behavior of the structure. (p. 2)”

“The scientist is, for me, the man who wants to read the book of Nature, who is as passionate about it as and more than a novel and has, among other things, a great characteristic, that of never exhausting himself. (p. 4)”

“However, the scientist, the moment he makes them known, loses control over the practical use of his discoveries. (p. 6)”

“The more science seeks and the more it finds clues to a single Creation being the work of a higher entity. The helix of DNA demonstrates this.”

“We [physicists] arrive at God by walking the path of reason.”

“Life: a creative act so perfect and so immense generated in its entirety in such a short and close time at the beginning of space and time.”

“There is no science fiction without science, just as there is no science without science fiction.”

“Do you know when the last reactor in America was built? In 1979, thirty years ago! And do you know how important nuclear power is in French energy production? About 20 percent. But the sky-high costs of their 59 reactors have been borne de facto by the government, the state, to maintain the atomic arsenal. Let us remember that it takes 8-10 years of work to build a nuclear power plant and that the proposed technology is based on a fuel, uranium, of limited duration. Then there remains, throughout the world, the problem of waste.”

“There is no safe nuclear. Or low slag production. There is a calculation of probabilities, so that every hundred years a nuclear accident is possible: and this evidently increases with the number of power plants. If anything, we can talk about an innovative nuclear power plant.”

“Suffice it to say that a hypothetical square of mirrors, 200 kilometers long on each side, could produce all the energy needed by the entire planet. And an area of this size is equivalent to just 0.1 percent of the desert areas of the so-called sun-belt. To supply electricity to a third of Italy, an area equivalent to 15 gigawatt nuclear power plants, a solar ring as large as the Rome ring road would suffice.”

“The sun is not subject to monopolies. And he doesn't pay the bill. Believe me, this is a great opportunity for our country: if we don't do it, the Americans will do it very soon, as happened with the computer twenty years ago.”
