Neil deGrasse Tyson
Once something is answered, then there's another question. Hence the eternal quest.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
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.

Feeling a little small? Well, in the context of the cosmos, we are small.

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.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science is like an inoculation against charlatans who would have you believe whatever it is they tell you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The discovery of any kind of life [in Space] at all would be a tremendous watershed moment in biology, as well as all of science.
