Damn, but science is just a constant feed of cool new facts and theories. Theology doesn't come close.

If the history of science shows us anything, it is that we get nowhere by labeling our ignorance “God”.

Faith is a padlock of the mind, and few keys can open it.

If the history of science teaches us anything, it is that what conquers our ignorance is research, not giving up and attributing our ignorance to the miraculous work of a creator.

Religion is based on dogma and belief, whereas science is based on doubt and questioning.

We don't have faith in reason; we use reason because, unlike revelation, it produces results and understanding. Even discussing why we should use reason employs reason!

In religion, faith is a virtue. In science, faith is a vice.

Can a geology teacher blithely tell his students that the earth is flat, or a European history professor that the Holocaust didn't happen? That's not academic freedom, but dereliction of duty.

Evolution tells us where we came from, not where we can go.

We now have many of the answers that once eluded Darwin, thanks to two developments that he could not have imagined: continental drift and molecular taxonomy.

All scientific progress requires a climate of strong skepticism.

There are still very few laws against thinking, although I am sure they're working hard on that in Washington.

Courage, kindness and a great determination to succeed in life with a smile were hallmarks of my wonderful wife. And why her story deserves to be told.

I am at war... with the principal personage of traditional philosophy, that abstract subject who masquerades as everyone and anyone, but is really a male subject in disguise.

It takes so much strength to say to your ego, 'You know what? You're going to keep me lonely, so I have to ignore you.'

If I could, I want to take a page from the George Clooney-like actors of the world. They do things that are relevant, things that don't necessarily have huge box office appeal, but they matter.

Power is neither good nor evil.

Be what you are; it is better that way. --Dolph

A loser says that's the way it's always been done. A winner says there ought to be a better way.

Hate me if you want to, love me if you can.

And that's the way it is.
