Belief is the wound that knowledge heals.

A meaningless question has only meaningless answers.

The idea that only belief sees the world as wonderful, and the "cold hard facts" of science take all the color and wonder out of it, the idea that scientific understanding automatically threatens and weakens religious or spiritual insight, is just hokum.

Some scientists hate religion, fear it, and rail against it. And some priests and preachers...claim the absolute primacy of biblical revelation over material fact. Thus they both set a fatal trap for the believer: if you believe in God you can't believe in evolution, and vice versa. But this is rather like saying if you believe in Tuesday you can't believe in artichokes.

Belief in the lie is the life of the lie.
