[C]reationists [and] other religious enthusiasts [are], in many parts of the world ..., the most dangerous adversaries of science.

Science doesn't make it impossible to believe in God, it just makes it possible not to believe in God

The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless.

Most scientists I know don't care enough about religion even to call themselves atheists.

If there is no solace in the fruits of our research, there is at least some consolation in the research itself. Men and women are not content to comfort themselves with tales of gods and giants, or to confine their thoughts to the daily affairs of life; they also build telescopes and satellites and accelerators and sit at their desks for endless hours working out the meaning of the data they gather.

[Science] is corrosive of religious belief, and it's a good thing too.

Premature as the question may be, it is hardly possible not to wonder whether we will find any answer to our deepest questions, any signs of the workings of an interested God, in a final theory. I think that we will not.
