Most of what Einstein said and did has no direct impact on what anybody reads in the Bible. Special relativity, his work in quantum mechanics, nobody even knows or cares. Where Einstein really affects the Bible is the fact that general relativity is the organizing principle for the Big Bang.

After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?

The first colony on Mars is not going to be built by a private company. How are you going to make money? You're not.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It’s short-sighted to think ads won’t one day end up wherever humans are - even the moon.

Perhaps these ancient observatories like Stonehenge perennially impress modern people because modern people have no idea how the Sun, Moon, or stars move. We are too busy watching evening television to care what's going on in the sky.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The idea that God resides in the unknown is what philosophers call the God of the gaps. And we have this thing called science, which marches on and makes discoveries in those gaps, ultimately closing gaps.

But my vote for Venus's most peculiar feature is the presence of craters that are all relatively young and uniformly distributed over its surface. This innocuous-sounding feature implicates a single planetwide catastrophe that reset the cratering clock... turning Venus's entire surface into the American automotive dream-a totally paved planet.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If it's a new planet, sign me up. I'm tired of driving around the block, boldly going where hundreds have gone before in orbit around earth-give me a place to go and I'll go.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance that's getting smaller and smaller and smaller as time moves on.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Nothing is a thing: it's nothing. So I can imagine a place where there's not even nothing.

Newton came up with Newton's laws of motion and gravity. They worked. They were working.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Right now people think God is dark energy and dark matter, the spirit. Go ahead and think that, but the day we can tell you exactly what it is - that it's gremlins in the vacuum of space or whatever - then what's your recourse at that point?

NASA has spin-offs, and it's a huge and very impressive list, including accurate and affordable LASIK eye surgery.

For your own safety, do not ever tell an astrophysicist, I hope all your stars are twinkling.

When asked about which scientist he'd like to meet, Neil deGrasse Tyson said, Isaac Newton. No question about it. The smartest person ever to walk the face of this earth. The man was connected to the universe in spooky ways. He discovered the laws of motion, the laws of gravity, the laws of optics. Then he turned 26.

If there's a Devil, that mean's there's a God.

All information is good, even when it is bad.
