Mammals are sentient beings that want to live and are afraid to die. Evolution vouchsafed us all with an instinct to survive, reproduce and flourish.

The fate of the paranormal is to become the normal as our horizons of understanding expand.

Accepting evolution does not force us to jettison our morals and ethics, and rejecting evolution does not ensure their constancy.

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

Human history is highly nonlinear and unpredictable.

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.

If spirituality is the sense of awe and humility in the face of the creation, what could be more awesome and humbling than the deep space discovered by Hubble and the cosmologists, and the deep time discovered by Darwin and the evolutionists.
