Gustav A. Tammann has this short comment: “In the end he highly valued Christian philosophy, but did not find faith.” I suggest readers have a look at an article Sandage wrote 8 years ago: A Scientist Reflects on Religious Belief by Dr. Allan Sandage (Leadership University, 14 July 2002).

Here is a relevant excerpt:
"If there is no God, nothing makes sense. The atheist's case is based on a deception they wish to play upon themselves that follows already from their initial premise. And if there is a God, he must be true both to science and religion. If it seems not so, then one's hermeneutics (either the pastor's or the scientist's) must wrong. [. . .] If the world must simply be understood by a materialistic reductionalist nihilism, it would make no sense at all. For this, Romans 1:19-21 seems profound."
