"Today, I consider myself, in Thomas Huxley’s terms, an
agnostic. I don’t know whether there is a God or creator, or whatever
we may call a higher intelligence or being. I don’t know whether there
is an ultimate reason for our being or whether there is anything beyond
material phenomena. I may doubt these things as a scientist, as we
cannot prove them scientifically, but at the same time we also cannot
falsify (disprove) them. For the same reasons, I cannot deny God with
certainty, which would make me an atheist. This is a conclusion
reached by many scientists."
