To an honest judge, the alleged convergence between religion and science is a shallow, empty, hollow, spin-doctored sham.

Scientific beliefs are supported by evidence, and they get results. Myths and faiths are not and do not.

I think I would abolish schools which systematically inculcate sectarian beliefs.

I'd like everybody to be secular. I suppose I have to say politically I would like religion to become gentler and nicer and to stop interfering with other people's lives, stop repressing women, stop indoctrinating children, all that sort of thing. But I really, really would like to see religion go away altogether.

Science is wonderful, science is important, and so are children, so are young people, and so what could be better than to write a science book for young people?

Do humans have a different moral significance than cows in general?

From my perspective, God cannot be completely contained within nature, and therefore God's existence is outside of science's ability to really weigh in.
