#2. If the laws of physics are not strictly causal the most that can be said is that the behaviour of the conscious brain is one of the possible behaviours of a mechanical brain. Precisely so; and the decision between the possible behaviours is what we call volition.

Arthur Stanley Eddington

Quotes About The Laws Of Physics #28227
#3. In A Brief History Of Time I used the word "God" like Einstein did as a shorthand for the laws of physics. However, this is not what most people mean by God, so I have decided not to use the term. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a God.

Stephen Hawking

Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Quotes About The Laws Of Physics #422062
#19. We have to create miracles. A miracle is not the intersession of an external divine agency in violation of the laws of physics. A miracle is simply something that is impossible from an old story but possible from within a new one. It is an expansion of what is possible.

Charles Eisenstein

Roger Penrose

Quotes About The Laws Of Physics #808793
#41. Traditionally, scientists have treated the laws of physics as simply 'given,' elegant mathematical relationships that were somehow imprinted on the universe at its birth, and fixed thereafter. Inquiry into the origin and nature of the laws was not regarded as a proper part of science.

Ben Stein

Quotes About The Laws Of Physics #1103054

Ray Comfort

Quotes About The Laws Of Physics #1346324
#68. Why is nature so ingeniously, one might even say suspiciously, friendly to life?

all figured out.

Paul Davies

Quotes About The Laws Of Physics #1355988

Richard Dawkins

Quotes About The Laws Of Physics #1391478
#73. The laws of history are as absolute as the laws of physics, and if the probabilities of error are greater, it is only because history does not deal with as many humans as physics does atoms, so that individual variations count for more.
