One possibility is: God is nothing but the power of the universe to organize itself.

When it comes to revolutionizing science, what matters is quality of thought, not quantity of true believers.

It is interesting to note that the quantum-mechanical revolution was made by a virtually orphaned generation of scientists. Many members of the generation above them had been slaughtered in World War I. There simply weren't many senior scientists around to tell them they were crazy.

Science is not about what’s true. It’s about what people with originally diverse viewpoints can be forced to believe by way of public evidence.
