The Big Bang banged, and for some reason we’re here. And that’s astonishing. And that we can understand that, that’s the most astonishing.

To leave the world better than you found it, sometimes you have to pick up other people's trash.

If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.

Our goal in science is to discover universal laws of nature. If one's faith requires one to abandon or ignore natural laws, well, that person is going to have trouble reconciling religion and science. Otherwise, there is no any conflict.

I say to the grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, that's completely inconsistent with the world we observe, that's fine. But don't make your kids do it. Because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need engineers that can build stuff and solve problems.

I try to speak plainly and be sympathetic to the idea of religions where people gather in community. They get a sense of people looking out for each other. My claim is that we have a tendency to look out for each other whether or not there is a religion involved.

The world's going to change climatically. We just want to control the change. We want to have a high quality of life for billions of people as we pass through this era.

By the way, most of the light that comes from the sun is green.

The US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don't fool with that.

I don't perceive an anti-religious agenda, especially with regard to Christians and Christianity. The issue being debated was creationism, the idea that the Earth is 6,000 years old. As I understand it, this involves the Bible's Old Testament exclusively.

If you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they'll be all over it.

I understand that you take the Bible, as written in English, translated many many times over the last three millennia as to be a more accurate, more reasonable assessment of the natural laws we see around us than what I and everybody in here can observe. That, to me, is unsettling.

I speak with dogs frequently. They don't really talk, but I feel they're communicating.

I meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.

America has had many other discoverers besides Columbus, but he seems to have made more satisfactory arrangements with the historians than any of the others.

Intuitively you want some place [such as your phone] to store phone numbers, so you have that part of your brain to do other tasks.
