Richard Dawkins
Image

Richard P. Feynman
Image
There's nothing nonsensical about saying that what would evolve if Darwinian selection has its head is something that you don't want to happen. And I could easily imagine trying to go against Darwinism.
Richard Dawkins
Image
The world and the universe is an extremely beautiful place, and the more we understand about it the more beautiful does it appear.

It is easy to recollect the good things of life, the times when one's heart rejoices and expands, when everything is enfolded in kindness and love it is easy to recollect the fineness of life-how noble one was, how generous one felt, what courage one showed in the face of adversity.
Oliver Sacks
Image
Science is a way of equipping yourself with the tools to interpret what happens in front of you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
