Whatever the evolutionary basis of religion, the xenophobia it now generates is clearly maladaptive.

The universe is the way it is, whether we like it or not.

If you have nothing in quantum mechanics, you will always have something.

Philosophy used to be a field that had content, but then natural philosophy became physics, and physics has only continued to make inroads. Every time theres a leap in physics, it encroaches on these areas that philosophers have carefully sequestered away to themselves, and so then you have this natural resentment on the part of philosophers.

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.

There is a maxim about the universe which I always tell my students: That which is not explicitly forbidden is guaranteed to occur.

There are a lot of legislators who are afraid that kids will learn science and lose their faith.

If we wish to draw philosophical conclusions about our own existence, our significance, and the significance of the universe itself, our conclusions should be based on empirical knowledge. A truly open mind means forcing our imaginations to conform to the evidence of reality, and not vice versa, whether or not we like the implications.

The really important thing is learning how to sceptically question and rely on empirical evidence.

Neutrinos alone, among all the known particles, have ethereal properties that are striking and romantic enough both to have inspired a poem by John Updike and to have sent teams of scientists deep underground for 50 years to build huge science-fiction-like contraptions to unravel their mysteries.

Without science, everything is a miracle.

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.

At the heart of quantum mechanics is a rule that sometimes governs politicians or CEOs-as long as no one is watching, anything goes.

Image
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?

It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: you are all stardust.

A truly open mind means forcing our imaginations to conform to the evidence of reality, and not vice versa.

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.

The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

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.

What science is all about is a process. It's like saying, Well, is it important for people to know that World War II happened? Well it's part of what makes us who we are. And so, there's basic bits of science we need to know.
