The theory of evolution was not formally published until shortly before Faraday's death. Evolution was yet to be discovered during Faraday's life. Also, I don't think that Michael Faraday would claim that the Earth is extraordinarily young.

The future of commerce is going to be all electronic. The gold standard was a fine idea, but electronic changes of funds and credits will be the future.

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.

Unlike science, creationism cannot predict anything, and it cannot provide satisfactory answers about the past.
Bill Nye

Science is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn't, science will fix it.

The thing about a theory in science is it allows you make predictions. Evolutionary theory allows us to predict what apples will taste good next harvest.

My father was a very good Boy Scout. He was very skilled with knots, and he showed me how to tie a bow tie.

Teaching creationism in science class as an alternative to evolution is inappropriate.

If you have this idea that the earth is only 6,000 years old, you are denying, if you will, everything that you can touch and see. Youre not paying attention to whats happening in the universe around you.

Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.

I've got no problem with anybody's religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that's just wrong.

I always say when you see that old black-and-white footage of the rocket on the launch pad and it falls over and explodes, that's because people had slide rules. Not having the decimal point is a real drawback. You want the decimal point, take it from me.

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.

When we sit down to draw or paint the sun's rays, we generally use yellow because in the morning and the evening with the blue light scattered away so strongly you're left with a little bit of red and it comes out yellowish.

I'll admit that the discovery of evolution is humbling, but it is also empowering. It transforms our relationship to the life around us. Instead of being outsiders watching the natural world go by, we are insiders. We are part of the process we are the exquisite result of billions of years of natural research and development.

Science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion.

Recommending or insisting on abstinence has been completely ineffective.

Hard to find anything lovelier than a tree. They grow at right angles to a tangent of the nominal sphere of the Earth.

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.

The oncoming trouble I speak of is climate change. It's going to affect all of you in the same way the Second World War consumed people of my parent's generation.
