There are a lot of legislators who are afraid that kids will learn science and lose their faith.

In 5 billion years, the expansion of the universe will have progressed to the point where all other galaxies will have receded beyond detection. Indeed, they will be receding faster than the speed of light, so detection will be impossible. Future civilizations will discover science and all its laws, and never know about other galaxies or the cosmic background radiation. They will inevitably come to the wrong conclusion about the universe......We live in a special time, the only time, where we can observationally verify that we live in a special time.

The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded.

Empirical explorations ultimately change our understanding of which questions are important and fruitful and which are not.

Of course, supernatural acts are what miracles are all about. They are, after all, precisely those things that circumvent the laws of nature. A god who can create the laws of nature can presumably also circumvent them at will. Although why they would have been circumvented so liberally thousands of years ago, before the invention of modern communication instruments that could have recorded them, and not today, is still something to wonder about.

You shouldn't be afraid of science. Accepting the reality of nature makes life more exciting and even more precious.

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.
