The illusion of purpose and design is perhaps the most pervasive illusion about nature that science has to confront on a daily basis.

I can't prove that God doesn't exist, but I'd much rather live in a universe without one.

We should provide the meaning of the universe in the meaning of our own lives. So I think science doesn't necessarily have to get in the way of kind of spiritual fulfillment.

If we wish to draw philosophical conclusions about our own existence, our significance, and the significance of the universe itself, our conclusions should be based on empirical knowledge. A truly open mind means forcing our imaginations to conform to the evidence of reality, and not vice versa, whether or not we like the implications.

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

The universe does not care what we want.
