" I may believe in God, but I'm at war with Him. I'm a scientist, I try to answer questions, one at a time, so there's a little less room for Him as the answer. I plant my flag, and inch by inch, I take away His kingdom. It's odd, but none of this has ever occurred to me before. I never even saw a real contradiction between science and religion. I see it now, I see it clear as day.
I've crossed that line we're not supposed to cross. I died. And I'm still here. I cheated death. I took away God's power.
I killed God and I feel empty inside. "
― Sylvain Neuvel , Waking Gods (Themis Files, #2)
