"God is an ever receding pocket of scientific ignorance."
"We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically."
"I would request that my body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime"
"Where ignorance lurks, so too do the frontiers of discovery and imagination"
"People cited violation of the First Amendment when a New Jersey schoolteacher asserted that evolution and the Big Bang are not scientific and that Noah's ark carried dinosaurs. This case is not about the need to separate church and state; it's about the need to separate ignorant, scientifically illiterate people from the ranks of teachers."
