Being a skeptic just means being rational and empirical: thinking and seeing before believing.

Play hard, work hard, love hard. . . .The bottom line for me is to live life to the fullest in the here-and-now instead of a hoped-for hereafter, and make every day count in some meaningful way and do something-no matter how small it is-to make the world a better place.

Skepticism is not a position that you stake out ahead of time and stick to no matter what.

We know evolution happened not because of transitional fossils such as A. natans but because of the convergence of evidence from such diverse fields as geology, paleontology, biogeography, comparative anatomy and physiology, molecular biology, genetics, and many more.

I’m a skeptic not because I do not want to believe, but because I want to know.

Darwin matters because evolution matters. Evolution matters because science matters. Science matters because it is the preeminent story of our age, an epic saga about who we are, where we came from and where we are going.

Providentially, learned habits can be unlearned, especially in the context of moral groups.
