Arno Penzias
| An American physicist, radio astronomer and Nobel laureate in physics who is co-discoverer of the cosmic microwave background radiation along with Robert Woodrow Wilson, which helped establish the Big Bang theory of cosmology. |
The Nobel Prize-winning scientist who with Wilson discovered the cosmic background radiation reacted with the statement:
"The best data we have are exactly what I would have predicted, had I nothing to go on but the five Books of Moses, the Psalms, the Bible as a whole."
Cited by Meyer on pg 243 of "The Return of the God Hypothesis">
Perhaps one of the passages he had in mind was Psalm 8:3-4.
