I am discounting the reports of UFOs. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos?

I like physics, but I love cartoons.

The universe and the Laws of Physics seem to have been specifically designed for us. If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist: Either atoms would not be stable, or they wouldn't combine into molecules, or the stars wouldn't form heavier elements, or the universe would collapse before life could develop, and so on...

We've created life in our own image.

In A Brief History Of Time I used the word "God" like Einstein did as a shorthand for the laws of physics. However, this is not what most people mean by God, so I have decided not to use the term. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a God.

Real science can be far stranger than science fiction and much more satisfying.

I am damned if I'm going to die before I have unraveled more of the universe
