"Rather than entertain the possibility of billions of saints, popes, churches, and Jesus Christs in the outer space, it was more convenient for the Church to simply burn him [Giordano Bruno]." ~ Michio Kaku
"Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense. " ~ Voltaire
"I believe in Spinoza's God, Who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the world, not in a God Who concerns Himself with the fate and the doings of mankind." ~ Albert Einstein
"Just because science so far has failed to explain something, such as consciousness, to say it follows that the facile, pathetic explanations which religion has produced somehow by default must win the argument is really quite ridiculous. " ~ Richard Dawkins
"Religions do make claims about the universe – the same kinds of claims that scientists make, except they're usually false." ~ Richard Dawkins
"In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion. " ~ Carl Sagan
