religious ideas leader
Religious leaders need to be held accountable for their ideas.
understanding evidence lack-of-understanding
The lack of understanding of something is not evidence for God. It's evidence of a lack of understanding.
pollution knows bits
We now know that we are more insignificant than we ever imagined. If you get rid of everything we see, the universe is essentially the same. We constitute a 1 percent bit of pollution in a universe . . . we are completely irrelevant.
teaching writing people
Teaching and writing, to me, is really just seduction; you go to where people are and you find something that they're interested in and you try and use that to convince them that they should be interested in what you have to say.
facts shame nonsense
It is a shame when nonsense can substitute for fact with impunity.
experts should rely
We all trust each other to some extent. We have to rely on experts to some extent, but we should learn to be sceptical.
students forbidden maxims
There is a maxim about the universe which I always tell my students: That which is not explicitly forbidden is guaranteed to occur.

understanding important exploration

If our species is to survive, our future will probably require outposts beyond our own planet.
prove i-can universe
I can't prove that God doesn't exist, but I'd much rather live in a universe without one.
physics poetic stardust
It really is the most poetic thing i know about physics: you are all stardust.
religious battle devil
When a person's religious beliefs cause him to deny the evidence of science, or for whom public policy morphs into a battle with the devil, shouldn't that be a subject for discussion and debate?
religion care want
The universe does not care what we want.
