I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.

In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not...

DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.

Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.

If you think you're a really good programmer... read Knuth's Art of Computer Programming... You should definitely send me a resume if you can read the whole thing.
