Pasteur was a devout [[Christian]], and did not see any conflict between science and Christianity, remarking that "''a bit of science distances one from God, but much science nears one to Him.''" Pasteur experienced many hardships throughout his life, including the death of three of his five children to childhood diseases including [[polio]], but these hardships only served to strengthen his faith and his determination to find cures.  Through it all Pasteur gave God the glory, stating that "''the more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator.''"
