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

As a scientist, I don't believe anything. Science shouldn't use the word belief. There are things more likely and less likely. Science can say nothing with absolute certainty.

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

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

The really important thing is learning how to sceptically question and rely on empirical evidence.

Celebrate our brief moment in the sun

When a person's religious beliefs cause him to deny the evidence of science, or for whom public policy morphs into a battle with the devil, shouldn't that be a subject for discussion and debate?
