There are no forbidden questions in science, no matters too sensitive or delicate to be probed, no sacred truths.

Where we have strong emotions, we're liable to fool ourselves.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

The cosmos is all there is, all there ever was, and all there ever will be.

Our perceptions are fallible. We sometimes see what isn't there. We are prey to optical illusions. Occasionally we hallucinate. We are error-prone.

If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power.

The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.
