More quotes by Lawrence M. Krauss
The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The universe is the way it is , whether we like it or not. The existence or nonexistence of a creator is independent of our desires . A world without God or purpose may seem harsh or pointless, but that alone doesn ' t require God to actually exist.
Lawrence M. Krauss
Science is not just there for technology. It's part of what addressing who you are in the universe and understanding your place in the cosmos. Good art, good literature, good music - all of that is for that and science is a part of it.
Lawrence M. Krauss
Without science, everything is a miracle.
Lawrence M. Krauss
Most people don't base their morality on religion in spite what they say. If you ask people, If you didn't believe in God, would you go out and kill your neighbour? Most people will say, No.
Lawrence M. Krauss
We should provide the meaning of the universe in the meaning of our own lives. So I think science doesn't necessarily have to get in the way of kind of spiritual fulfillment.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The fact is that people would rather cling when they're afraid of something to a priori beliefs than rather open their minds about it.
Lawrence M. Krauss
A truly open mind means forcing our imaginations to conform to the evidence of reality, and not vice versa.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The illusion of purpose and design is perhaps the most pervasive illusion about nature that science has to confront on a daily basis.
Lawrence M. Krauss
[The writers of the holy books] did not even know the earth revolves around the sun. Why are we listening?
Lawrence M. Krauss
In this sense, science, as physicist Steven Weinberg has emphasized, does not make it impossible to believe in God, but rather makes it possible to not believe in God.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The really important thing is learning how to sceptically question and rely on empirical evidence.
Lawrence M. Krauss
We now know that we are more insignificant than we ever imagined. If you get rid of everything we see, the universe is essentially the same. We constitute a 1 percent bit of pollution in a universe . . . we are completely irrelevant.
Lawrence M. Krauss
Whatever the evolutionary basis of religion, the xenophobia it now generates is clearly maladaptive.
Lawrence M. Krauss
People are interested in science, but they don't always know they're interested in science, and so I try to find a way to get them interested.
Lawrence M. Krauss
For the record: Quantum mechanics does not deny the existence of objective reality. Nor does it imply that mere thoughts can change external events. Effects still require causes, so if you want to change the universe, you need to act on it.
Lawrence M. Krauss
When a person's religious beliefs cause him to deny the evidence of science, or for whom public policy morphs into a battle with the devil, shouldn't that be a subject for discussion and debate?
Lawrence M. Krauss
As a scientist, I don't believe anything. Science shouldn't use the word belief. There are things more likely and less likely. Science can say nothing with absolute certainty.
Lawrence M. Krauss
A significant fraction of evangelical voters appear more likely to ignore the candidates' specific economic and foreign policy platforms in favor of concerns about gay marriage or abortion.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The universe is the way it is, whether we like it or not.
