My objection to supernatural beliefs is precisely that they miserably fail to do justice to the sublime grandeur of the real world. They represent a narrowing-down from reality, an impoverishment of what the real world has to offer.

We cannot prove that there is no God, but we can safely conclude the He is very, very improbable indeed.

Are science and religion converging? No. There are modern scientists whose words sound religious but whose beliefs, on close examination, turn out to be identical to those of other scientists who straightforwardly call themselves atheists.

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?

We have seen that living things are too improbable and too beautifully 'designed' to have come into existence by chance.

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