Our job in physics is to see things simply, to understand a great many complicated phenomena in a unified way, in terms of a few simple principles.

The whole history of the last thousands of years has been a history of religious persecutions and wars, pogroms, jihads, crusades. I find it all very regrettable, to say the least.

The more we refine our understanding of God to make the concept plausible, the more it seems pointless.

In our universe we are tuned into the frequency that corresponds to physical reality. But there are an infinite number of parallel realities coexisting with us in the same room, although we cannot tune into them.

Our mistake is not that we take our theories too seriously, but that we do not take them seriously enough.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

A physicist friend of mine once said that in facing death, he drew some consolation from the reflection that he would never again have to look up the word "hermeneutics" in the dictionary.
