There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.

There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.

Science is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn't, science will fix it.

Promoting a religious agenda that is to apply to every citizen is inconsistent with our laws in the US. It seems to me that your community and mine can live and work together without conflict.

I've got no problem with anybody's religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that's just wrong.

If you just take a single human and put him or her in the forest he or she might not do very well without some sort of education which he got or she got from some tribe.

From an evolutionary standpoint you can't just wipe everything out and start over, and I don't think you can do it in the school system either.
