"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.

"My view is that if your philosophy is not unsettled daily then you are blind to all the universe has to offer."

"Where ignorance lurks, so too do the frontiers of discovery and imagination"
