"The caricature of science is that we hold tight to the theories we have, and shun challenges to them. That's just not true. In fact, we hold our highest rewards for those scientists who can prove others wrong. And by the way, they are famous in their own lifetimes. We don't wait until they're dead."

"I would teach how science works as much as I would teach what science knows. I would assert (given that essentially, everyone will learn to read) that science literacy is the most important kind of literacy they can take into the 21st century.

No other way to read that list: sure signs of the absence of intelligence."

"The more I learn about the universe, the less convinced I am that there's any sort of benevolent force that has anything to do with it, at all."
