Dropping those atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a war crime.

When it comes to the origin of life there are only two possibilities: creation or spontaneous generation. There is no third way. Spontaneous generation was disproved one hundred years ago, but that leads us to only one other conclusion, that of supernatural creation. We cannot accept that on philosophical grounds; therefore, we choose to believe the impossible: that life arose spontaneously by chance!

A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms.

One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet here we are-as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation.

I think I know what is bothering the students. I think that what we are up against is a generation that is by no means sure that it has a future.

A lecture is much more of a dialogue than many of you probably realize.

We have fallen in love with the body. That's that thing that looks back at us from the mirror. That's the repository of that lovely identity that you keep chasing all your life.
