Quotes[54] = "<I>&quot;A religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.

Quotes[55] = "<I>&quot;I have a bible. Its letters are stars and its punctuation, planets. It's written across the night sky in a language that anyone can decipher if they take the time to look up.

Quotes[66] = "<I>&quot;The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true science. He who knows it not, and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead. We all had this priceless talent when we were young. But as time goes by, many of us lose it. The true scientist never loses the faculty of amazement. It is the essence of his being&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Hans Selye (1907-1982)</NOBR>";

Quotes[70] = "<I>&quot;It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.

Quotes[79] = "<I>&quot;A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary.

Quotes[80] = "<I>&quot;It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated.

Quotes[82] = "<I>&quot;I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves.

Quotes[85] = "<I>&quot;The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)</NOBR>";

Quotes[102] = "<I>&quot;Don't you understand that we need to be childish in order to understand?

Quotes[106] = "<I>&quot;A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe', a part limited in time and space.

Quotes[239] = "<I>&quot;If you are a scientist you believe that it is good to find out how the world works, that it is good to find out what the realities are, that it is good to turn over to mankind at large the greatest possible power to control the world.

Robert Oppenheimer</NOBR> <NOBR>(1904-1967)</NOBR>";
Quotes[240] = "<I>&quot;The real world's all we've got. Believers in the supernatural claim to have special wisdom about the world. But real wisdom means knowing truth from falsehood, knowing the difference between evidence and wishful thinking. Yes, the real world is mysterious and sometimes frightening. But would the supernatural make it better? The real world has beauty, poetry, love and the joy of honest discovery. Isn't that enough?&quot;</I> <NOBR> - John Stossel</NOBR>";

Quotes[276] = "<I>&quot;Most people don't really believe in paradise after death and we never have, no matter what we might say or what church we might attend. If we did, why would we try to stave off death at all? If we have raised our children, and have no more responsibility to our offspring, why not accept death with gratitude, a speedy way to enter a better place? Instead, we rail against it. We fight to achieve more and better. We'd like to have sex into our 90s. We'd like to not just stay sharp, but to be smarter. We want more understanding, more wisdom, more strength.&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Brian Alexander</NOBR>";

Quotes[289] = "<I>&quot;It seems inevitable that, sooner or later, living things will spread off the planet--if not us, then perhaps whatever comes after us.

Quotes[290] = "<I>&quot;When the history of our galaxy is written, and for all any of us know it may already have been, if Earth gets mentioned at all it won't be because its inhabitants visited their own moon. That first step, like a newborn's cry, would be automatically assumed. What would be worth recording is what kind of civilization we earthlings created and whether or not we ventured out to other parts of the galaxy&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Astronaut Michael Collins</NOBR>";
Quotes[291] = "<I>&quot;Man is a creature not merely of the earth. Man's creation began as a turbulence in a cloud of gas in infinite space and proceeded by condensation into a galaxy, stars, planets, and finally the seas and continents of the earth. These speculations lead inescapably to the concept that man is the creature of the cosmos, not of the earth; that the earth is only his womb, his chrysalis perhaps&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Hamilton B. Webb</NOBR>";

Quotes[301] = "<I>&quot;Once you see it -copy, vary, select; copy, vary, select -you see that design by natural selection simply has to happen. Then, the scary implications follow. If everyone understood evolution, then the tyranny of religious memes would be weakened, and we little humans might find a better way to live in this pointless universe&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Susan Blackmore</NOBR>";
Quotes[302] = "<I>&quot;We have to accept responsibility for the survival of the human race, instead of praying about it. The prize, if we can embrace this humanist philosophy, is an infinite and unimaginably exciting journey ahead of us&quot;</I> <NOBR> - John Sulston</NOBR>";
Quotes[303] = "<I>&quot;Through geology, we understand our identity. Geology is a kind of unconscious mind for the world.&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Richard Fortey</NOBR>";
Quotes[304] = "<I>&quot;Karl Popper argued that scientific knowledge advanced most reliably by the development and refutation of hypotheses. He said you cannot prove that all swans are white by counting white swans, but you can prove that not all swans are white by counting one black swan. Erecting hypotheses that can be falsified, and designing experiments capable of doing so, is the hallmark of the true scientist. In fact, it distinguishes the scientist from the non-scientist&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Robert Maynard</NOBR>";
Quotes[305] = "<I>&quot;Paranormal phenomena do not exist. Magic, witchcraft, mind-reading, clairvoyance, faith healing and similar practices do not work and never have worked. It makes a crucial difference whether we imagine ourselves surrounded by supernatural beings and happenings or whether instead we see ourselves in a world that science can help us understand. Many scientific principles, concepts, or discoveries need not, despite their importance, be understood by the public, but just by the experts. The question of the paranormal is different in this respect&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Roderich Tumulka</NOBR>";

Quotes[316] = "<I>&quot;Humans crave certainty, even false certainty, in preference to the sense of vertigo induced by a clear-eyed acknowledgment that we are, at least most of the time, stumbling in the dark down an unmarked path through the baffling wilderness of an unknown - perhaps unknowable - reality&quot;</I> <NOBR> - James N. Gardner</NOBR>";
Quotes[317] = "<I>&quot;New ideas in science are not right just because they are new. Nor are old ideas wrong just because they are old. A critical attitude is clearly required of every seeker of truth. But one must be equally critical of both the old ideas as of the new&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Thomas Gold</NOBR>";
Quotes[318] = "<I>&quot;I don't demand that a theory correspond to reality because I don't know what [reality] is. Reality is not a quality you can test with litmus paper. All I'm concerned with is that the theory should predict the results of measurements&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Stephen Hawking</NOBR>";

Quotes[325] = "<I>&quot;Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, and above&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Gia Marie Carangi (1960-1986)</NOBR>";

Quotes[329] = "<I>&quot;I think one is to present science as it is, as something dazzling, as something tremendously exciting, as something eliciting feelings of reverence and awe, as something that our lives depend on. If it isn’t presented that way, if it’s presented in very dull textbook fashion, then of course people will be turned off. If teachers’ salaries, especially in science, are very low, if an intelligent remark on science has never been uttered in living memory by a President of the United States, if in all of television there are no action-adventuries in which the hero or heroine is someone devoted to finding out how the universe works, if spiffy jackets attractive to the opposite sex are given to students who do well in football, basketball, and baseball but none in chemistry, physics, and mathematics, then it is not surprising that a lot of people come out of the American educational system turned off, or having never experienced, science.&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Carl Sagan (1934-1996)</NOBR>";

Quotes[343] = "<I>&quot;It is, after all, a truism that religion makes you a more moral person. Like many truisms, it’s wrong. Religion has a magnificent record of inspiring art, architecture, music, literature and even scientific inquiry. It has completely failed to improve human behaviour. Rather, it tends to persuade people that, provided they are believers, they can get away with anything&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Peter Wilby</NOBR>";

For the 19th century theologian William Paley, the analogy was this: Humans make watches which are complex, objects in nature are complex, and so objects in nature must have been made by an invisible intelligence or designer. For RTB adherents the analogy is this: Humans fine-tune their machines for a purpose, values of the universe’s physical constants are extremely improbable but consistent with the existence of human life, therefore the universe must have been finely-tuned by a hidden super intelligent agent for the purpose of producing humans&quot;</I> <NOBR> - Gary J.
