I have yet to see a successful prediction about the physical world that was inferred or extrapolated from the content of any religions document.

The center line of science literacy - which not many people tell you, but I feel this strongly, and I will go to my grave making this point - is how you think.

The worst thing that ever happened to America was the 19th Amendment.

All information is good, even when it is bad.

We account for all the matter and energy that we're familiar with, measure up how much gravity it should have, it's one-sixth of the gravity that's actually operating on the universe. We call that dark matter. It really should be called dark gravity. We don't know what that is.

But to measure cause and effect... you must ensure that a simple correlation, however tempting it may be, is not mistaken for a cause. In the 1990s the stork population of Germany increased and the German at-home birth rate rose as well. Shall we credit storks for airlifting the babies?

85 percent of the gravity of the universe has a point of origin about which we know nothing.
