He who has spent billions on churches, on mosques and on every kind of sanctuaries is guilty of not giving that money to the science! The path of sanctuary does not lead to God; the path of the faith does not lead to God; only the path of science leads to God! The bridge between man and the unknown God is not worshipping but it is science, only the science!
We believe that it is possible for scientific work to gain some knowledge about the reality of the world, by means of which we can increase out power and in accordance with which we can arrange our life. If this belief is an illusion, then we are in the same position as you. But science has given us evidence by its numerous and important successes that it is no illusion.
Missing: A teenaged girl with lanky, blonde hair and a sunburst tattoo on her cheek. The holographic posters, brighter than day itself, lit up the air on every block of Main Street.
I believe in general in a dualism between facts and the ideas of those facts in human heads.
When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy”. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.
In the tapestry of the cosmos, we are but fleeting threads woven by the hands of infinity, dancing in the ethereal ballet of stars, where each twinkling light whispers the secrets of the universe in a symphony of cosmic wonder.
Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is… we cannot expect things to be much better in this world… We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing we set back the progress of humanity.
You’re doing bone parthenogenesis! I told him his mum did bone parthenogenesis.
Don’t stop what you’re doing because of what people are doing, if you stop what you are doing because of what people are doing, then you don’t know what you’re doing from the very beginning. #continue to the end, don’t change for them, let them be like you
Nothing begins as a single thing; everything starts as a package of things.

En un mot, pour tirer la loi de l’expérience, if faut généraliser; c’est une nécessité qui s’impose à l’observateur le plus circonspect.In one word, to draw the rule from experience, one must generalize; this is a necessity that imposes itself on the most circumspect observer.
One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds.
Nothing matters but the facts. Without them, the science of criminal investigation is nothing more than a guessing game.
The study of mathematics is apt to commence in disappointment… We are told that by its aid the stars are weighed and the billions of molecules in a drop of water are counted. Yet, like the ghost of Hamlet’s father, this great science eludes the efforts of our mental weapons to grasp it.
In science, if you don’t do it, somebody else will. Whereas in art, if Beethoven didn’t compose the ‘Ninth Symphony,’ no one else before or after is going to compose the ‘Ninth Symphony’ that he composed; no one else is going to paint ‘Starry Night’ by van Gogh.
There’s a science fiction project we really want to make, but it’s very expensive. Hopefully it will happen.
Mysticism is colourful and alluring, but if you are after the truth, science is the best path!
If you’ve done 6 impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe?
The paper does not provide the exact number of penises eaten by ducks, but the author says there have been enough over the years to prompt the coining of a popular saying: ‘I better get home or the ducks will have something to eat.
Equality is not possible in a society based on religion. For religion is the basis of all inequality.
Jesuits so dominated the study of earthquakes that seismology became known as ‘the Jesuit Science.
If no one ever deviated from currently accepted mainstream Science – we would still have the Flat Earth Society!
Nothing good was learnt too swiftly. Knowledge should be a purposeful accumulance of observed experience, applied and tested to the full.
The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality.
If we choose to ignore science and refuse to fund important scientific research, we voluntarily cede our place as a world leader in innovation.
Keen to progress the work on photosynthesis, Lawrence hired Melvin Calvin, a colleague from the Manhattan Project, immediately after the war. The story has it that on the day of the Japanese surrender Lawrence told Calvin that ‘Now is the time to do something useful with radioactive carbon.
I never had problems with my fellow scientists. Scientists are a friendly, atheistic, hard-working, beer-drinking lot whose minds are preoccupied with sex, chess and baseball when they are not preoccupied with science.
Science is a bit like the joke about the drunk who is looking under a lamppost for a key that he has lost on the other side of the street, because that’s where the light is. It has no other choice.
The life sciences contain spiritual values which can never be explained by the materialistic attitude of present day science
Too many vaccines with too many untested ingredients are being given too early to too many children and are causing too many problems in too many children.
When you think about it, the Big Bang’s a big like school, isn’t it?…Well, I mean to say, one day we’ll all leave here and become scientists and bank clerks and driving instructors and hotel managers — the fabric of society, so to speak. But in the meantime, that fabric, that is to say, us, the future, is crowded into one tiny little point where none of the laws of society applies, viz., this school.-Ruprecht
If a theory purports to explain everything, then it is likely not explaining much at all.
We pledge to fight ‘blue-sky thinking wherever we find it. Life would be dull if we had to look up at cloudless monotony day after day.
It’s actually the minority of religious people who rejects science or feel threatened by it or want to sort of undo or restrict the… where science can go. The rest, you know, are just fine with science. And it has been that way ever since the beginning.
Canonization, limitation, and reduction of God to a “few” sentences are inconceivable attempts to kill and expel God from people under the excuse that God is doing that. There is no weakness in science and language as instruments. There is no excuse. There is only human power and weakness. Understanding depends on the balance between human strengths and weaknesses.
We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like.
We’re going to be focusing our science on things that will take us farther and longer into space. For many of those experiments, the crew members are human guinea pigs, which is fine; that’s part of my job. I don’t mind being a human guinea pig.
Unconsciousness makes artificial intelligences vulnerable to exploitation by evil parties that can manipulate them.
All my mind was centered on my studies, which, especially at the beginning, were difficult. In fact, I was insufficiently prepared to follow the physical science course at the Sorbonne, for, despite all my efforts, I had not succeeded in acquiring in Poland a preparation as complete as that of the French students following the same course.
The day our knowledge of the cosmos ceases to expand, we risk regressing to the childish view that the universe figuratively and literally revolves around us.
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own.
Babylon 5 is probably the biggest, most ambitious television science fiction series ever made. It’s one big novel told over five years with 110 different stories told within it.
The reasons for this paring back of synapses is a mystery, but synaptic pruning is thought to sharpen and reinforce the correct synapses, while removing the weak and unnecessary ones. It reinforces an old intuition, a psychiatrist in Boston told me. The secret of learning is the systematic elimination of excess. We grow, mostly, by dying.
Ideas are 10 a penny. It’s the execution that’s the hard thing to do. House is standing up against a tide of sentiment and emotionalism over reason that threatens to engulf this world. When you think about it, a rationalist, a man of science and reason, is in a pretty lonely position.
Ficar sozinha com a tristeza, era isso que eu queria. Perguntar para a tristeza se ela é algo realmente regular, saudável e normal de nossa estrutura neural. Queria poder perguntar para a tristeza se era possível saber até exatamente que medida ela seria considerada normal e partir de que ponto ela seria considerada problemática, ou nociva, ou, pra dizer um palavrão, em que ponto a tristeza seria patológica.
Perhaps the hopes I have confessed to are of an illusory nature, too. But I hold fast to one distinction. Apart from the fact that no penalty is imposed for not sharing them, my illusions are not, like religious ones, incapable of correction.
I can see no more reason for preferring the theories of fifty years ago than for preferring the observational data of fifty years ago.
It Begins with skepticism. The history of human folly, and our own susceptibility to illusions and fallacies, tell us that men and women are fallible.
Since the beginning of time, spirituality and religion have been called to fill in the gaps that science did not understand.
No one would want to read a book in which I explain the science of cloning because it would be very dull and it would also make no sense.
The point is that no matter what you choose to do with your body when you die, it won’t, ultimately, be very appealing. If you are inclined to donate yourself to science, you should not let images of dissection or dismemberment put you off. They are no more or less gruesome, in my opinion, than ordinary decay or the sewing shut of your jaws via your nostrils for a funeral viewing.
Nothing is so dangerous to the progress of the human mind than to assume that our views of science are ultimate, that there are no mysteries in nature, that our triumphs are complete and that there are no new worlds to conquer.
Like every country, North Korea has some very smart people. They could be contributing a lot more to science and other areas, but North Koreans are forced to spend so much time memorising the fake history of our dictators and other propaganda, so are at a huge disadvantage.
I challenge you to find a more innocuous sentence containing the words sperm, suction, swallow, and any homophone of seaman. And then call me up on the homophone and read it to me.
I have an emotional attachment to it all. The earth. The sky. I’ve studied it all my life. And it hurts me whenever somebody hurts this, out here. My home.
Anthropology was the science that gave her the platform from which she surveyed, scolded and beamed at the world.
Science is interesting, and if you don’t agree you can fuck off.Note: Dawkins was quoting a former editor of New Scientist Magazine, who is as yet unidentified (possibly Jeremy Webb)
You know how Einstein got bad grades as a kid? Well, mine are even worse!
English is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe that in two decades times original works of science will start coming out in our languages. Then we can move over like the Japanese.
I have passed English medical examinations in Hong Kong… In my youth, I experienced overseas studies. The languages of the West, its literature, its political science, its customs, its mathematics, its geography, its physics and chemistry – all these I have had the chance to study.
