Quote examples
Neil deGrasse Tyson
American Scientist
So the history of discovery, particularly cosmic discovery, but discovery in general, scientific discovery, is one where at any given moment, there's a frontier. And there tends to be an urge for people, especially religious people, to assert that across that boundary, into the unknown, lies the handiwork of God. This shows up a lot.
Quote examples
Henry B. Eyring
American Leader
For one who feels compelled, as I do, to accept the existence of the Master Architect, it is important to examine his handiwork for the light it throws on him and on his program for his children. For me, there has been no serious difficulty in reconciling the principles of true science with the principles of true religion.
Quote examples
Friedrich August von Hayek
Austrian Economist
He will therefore have to use what knowledge he can achieve, not to shape the results as the craftsman shapes his handiwork, but rather to cultivate a growth by providing the appropriate environment, in the manner in which the gardener does this for his plants.
Quote examples
David Seabury
American Psychologist
Nature is at work. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives us love and hate, jealousy and reverence. All that is ours is the power to choose which impulse we shall follow.
Quote examples
James Prescott Joule
English Physicist
After the knowledge of, and obedience to, the will of God, the next aim must be to know something of His attributes of wisdom, power, and goodness as evidenced by His handiwork.
Quote examples
James Joyce
Irish Novelist
The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.

Victoria Moran
American Writer
Our culture has long mistrusted the body. It's been seen as a confusing blend of God's handiwork and the devil's playground. It is, rather, a vortex of intelligence.
Quote examples
Frances Arnold
American Scientist
The fuel for evolution is diversity, with natural selection leading to continuous adaptations and improvements in Nature's handiwork.

Mexican Economist
You cannot have an agreement... that gives a tailor's cut, a perfect handiwork, to a specific company.
