From a Vatican astronomer, a "Glad Scientist":
Science cannot prove God, or disprove Him. He has to be assumed. If people have no other reason to believe in God than that they can’t imagine how the human eye could have evolved by itself, then their faith is very weak.
Instead of trying to affirm his own faith in the heavens, he says it's religion that inspires him to be a scientist:
Seeing the universe as God’s creation means that getting to play in the universe - which is really what a scientist does — is a way of playing with the Creator. It’s a religious act. And it’s a very joyous act.
