Quotes by Wernher von Braun
Wernher von Braun (1912–1977) — Raumfahrtpionier · Lutherisch · USA
Der deutsch-amerikanische Physiker und Raumfahrtpionier Wernher von Braun (1912–1977) entwickelte Raketen in Peenemünde und leitete später in den USA das Apollo-Mondlandeprogramm der NASA. Er vertrat öffentlich die Vereinbarkeit von Naturwissenschaft und Schöpfungsglauben, steht historisch jedoch wegen seiner SS-Mitgliedschaft und des tödlichen Zwangsarbeitereinsatzes von KZ-Häftlingen bei der Rüstungsproduktion in der Kritik. Bibellesern begegnet er heute als prominenter Fürsprecher einer gottesfürchtigen Wissenschaft, während seine Biografie zugleich die moralische Ambivalenz technischen Fortschritts mahnend vor Augen führt.

Quotes by Wernher von Braun
Science and Christian faith are by no means in conflict. They are rather sisters: while science strives to learn more about creation, Christian faith seeks to better understand the Creator.
Wernher von Braun
The grandeur of the cosmos only confirms to me the belief in a Creator. I simply cannot imagine that this whole universe came into being without a divine will.
Wernher von Braun
My personal conviction and view culminates in the recognition that humanity needs the power of prayer today more than ever before in history.
Wernher von Braun
Our age of space flight and nuclear fission demands a high sense of responsibility from every individual; we have every reason to pray that God grant us the strength to meet that responsibility.
Wernher von Braun
Above all stands the honor of God, who created the great universe, which man and his science, in deep reverence, penetrate and explore ever further day by day.
Wernher von Braun
The most important message for our planet is: Jesus Christ has lived, and he is risen.
Wernher von Braun
Science has no moral dimension. It is like a knife. If you give it to a surgeon and a murderer, each will use it in his own way.
Wernher von Braun
The occasionally heard opinion that in the age of space travel we know so much about nature that we no longer need to believe in God is not justified by anything. To this day science has, with every new answer, discovered at least three new questions. Only a renewed faith in God can bring about the transformation that can save our world from catastrophe.
