I am not sure it is the original source but that quote is in "Science and Christianity: conflict or coherence?" By Henry F. Schaefer. It is available from Amazon. (http://www.amazon.com/Science-Christianity-Henry-Schaefer-III/dp/097429750X)

That's a nice Quantum Spanner you illustrate. I can think of some applications for it. [:)]
