Peace is not weak. Standing up to a tank is harder than dropping a suicide bomb
Matthieu Ricard
Image
We have domesticated crops over a very long period of time, like tens of thousands of years. And crops get - seeds get carried. Sometimes, if they're very small seeds, they get scattered off trucks. Pollen travels.
Nina Fedoroff
Image
I don't know what to think about magic and fairy tales.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Almost certainly, the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind. Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world. Yet today 50 percent of the world’s population goes hungry. Without food, man can live at most but a few weeks without it, all other components of social justice are meaningless.
Norman Borlaug
Image
There are many people of color who are very talented.
James D. Watson
Image
When does life begin? When does the soul enter? That's a religious question. Science is not going to be able to help with that.
Francis Collins
Image
The genetic code is not a binary code as in computers, nor an eight-level code as in some telephone systems, but a quaternary code with four symbols. The machine code of the genes is uncannily computerlike.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Anyone can be happy by simply training their brain.
Matthieu Ricard
Image
The downside of skepticism: it can easily turn into an arrogant position of a priori rejection of any new phenomenon or idea, a position that is as lacking in critical thinking as the one of the true believer, and that simply does not help either science or the public at large.
Massimo Pigliucci
Image
Intelligent life on a planet comes of age when it first works out the reason for its own existence.
Richard Dawkins
Image
I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God's, or Nature's method of creation. Creation is not an event that happened in 4004 BC it is a process that began some 10 billion years ago and is still under way.
Theodosius Dobzhansky
Image
In agriculture, people have taken wild plants that can't be eaten by people - and turned them into wonderful food sources. And that's because genomes can change, and people working with plants have picked mutations. Mutations are nothing more than genetic changes.
Nina Fedoroff
Image
This argument [that life is too improbable to have arisen by chance] comes up repeatedly: its latest manifestation is Hoyle's discussion of the likelihood of a wind blowing through a junkyard assembling a Boeing 707 [sic]. What is wrong with it? Essentially, it is that no biologist imagines that complex structures arise in a single step.
John Maynard Smith
Image
It is good to keep in mind ... that nobody has ever succeeded in producing even one new species by the accumulation of micromutations. Darwin's theory of natural selection has never had any proof, yet it has been universally accepted.
Richard Goldschmidt
Image
The gravitational constant, if it were off by one part in a hundred million million, then the expansion of the universe after the Big Bang would not have occurred in the fashion that was necessary for life to occur. When you look at that evidence, it is very difficult to adopt the view that this was just chance.
Richard Dawkins
Image
When the mind is full of memories and preoccupied by the future, it misses the freshness of the present moment. In this way, we fail to recognize the luminous simplicity of mind that is always present behind the veils of thought.
Matthieu Ricard
Image
You can't just live in a comfortable little suburban neighborhood and get your education from movies and television and have any perspective on life.
Craig Venter
Image
There's no genetic basis for any kind of rigid ethnic or racial classification. I'm always asked is there Greek DNA or an Italian gene, but, of course, there isn't. We're very closely related.
Bryan Sykes
Image
I believe that no one who is familiar, either with mathematical advances in other fields, or with the range of special biological conditions to be considered, would ever conceive that everything could be summed up in a single mathematical formula, however complex.
Ronald Fisher
Image
Moving forward in science is as much unwinding the distorted thinking of the past as it is putting a clearer idea on the table.
Craig Venter
Image
I've never heard of William Craig. A debate with him might look good on his resume, but it wouldn't look good on mine!
Richard Dawkins
Image
Faith is one of the world's great evils, comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to eradicate.
Richard Dawkins
Image
The Place of No Shadows, in Isaac Asimovs Science Fiction Magazine (1990) In our Universe, matter is arranged in a hierarchy of structures by successive integrations.
Francois Jacob
Image
Faith is not the opposite of reason.
