Science & Tech Quote by Dinesh D'Souza

D'Souza is making a lawyerly move that sounds conciliatory but is really a claim of jurisdiction: if God and science share "the same roots", then the religious worldview doesn’t sit outside modern knowledge as a private consolation prize; it belongs at the origin story of how we know anything at all. The phrasing "I would argue" signals debate-stage posture, not confession. He’s not discovering common ground so much as staking out an argument that can be litigated in public.

The key word is "roots". It quietly shifts the conversation from evidence to genealogy. Instead of asking whether scientific claims about the world are testable, he invites you to ask where the very impulse to test, to order, to seek laws comes from. That reframing has two effects: it flatters religious listeners by treating faith as intellectually foundational, and it puts secular critics on the defensive, as if rejecting God means rejecting the cultural soil that made science possible.

Context matters: D'Souza’s work lives in the long-running culture-war project of challenging "New Atheist" confidence and recasting Christianity as a civilizational engine rather than a metaphysical option. The subtext is strategic ecumenism: he can concede scientific facts while still arguing that science is downstream of theism - that rational inquiry, human dignity, and the idea of a lawful cosmos are theological inheritance. It's an attempt to turn a perceived conflict into a dependency claim: science doesn’t bury God; it supposedly presupposes Him.
