Science is only truly consistent with an atheistic worldview with regards to the claimed miracles of the gods of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

People are interested in science, but they don't always know they're interested in science, and so I try to find a way to get them interested.

Most people don't base their morality on religion in spite what they say. If you ask people, "If you didn't believe in God, would you go out and kill your neighbour?" Most people will say, "No".

A truly open mind means forcing our imaginations to conform to the evidence of reality, and not vice versa.

You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.

The universe is the way it is, whether we like it or not.

If our species is to survive, our future will probably require outposts beyond our own planet.
