kids needs world
I say to the grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, that's completely inconsistent with the world we observe, that's fine. But don't make your kids do it. Because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need engineers that can build stuff and solve problems.
come-up humans best-things
Science is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn't, science will fix it.
kids want recycling
If you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they'll be all over it.
light doors two
There are two ways to be rich: to have more or need less. It's estimated that we squander about 30 percent of our energy leaving the lights on, the refrigerator door open, and so on. Then there is the enormous amount of food that we expend huge amounts of energy to raise and then throw away.
world facts natural
The natural world is a package deal; you don't get to select which facts you like and which you don't.
father boys ties
My father was a very good Boy Scout. He was very skilled with knots, and he showed me how to tie a bow tie.
media discipline information
The information you get from social media is not a substitute for academic discipline at all.
meaningful thinking origin-of-life
I often reflect on what an extraordinary time (pun intended) it is to be alive here in the beginning of the twenty-first century. It took life billions of years to get to this point. It took humans thousands of years to piece together a meaningful understanding of our cosmos, our planet and ourselves. Think how fortunate we are to know this much. But think also of all that's yet to be discovered. Here's hoping the deep answers to the deep questions-from the nature of consciousness to the origin of life-will be found in not too much more time.
believe optimistic views
When we explore the cosmos, we come to believe and prove that we can solve problems that have never been solved. It brings out the best in us. Space exploration imbues everyone with an optimistic view of the future.
dog common-sense people
Along with the evidence of common sense, researchers have proven scientifically that humans are all one people. We're a lot like dogs in that regard. If a Great Dane interacts (can we say interact?) with a Chihuahua, you get a dog.
goal wonder laws-of-nature
Our goal in science is to discover universal laws of nature. That pursuit fills me with wonder.
knowing space people
We are special in the sense that we can know our place in the cosmos. We can know our place in space. We are at least one of the cosmos's ways of knowing itself. That fills me with reverence and joy. Another insight I really want people to consider is this: everyone has gotten this far. Everyone you meet has made it this far. Nobody is superior to anyone else from an evolutionary standpoint.
years earth belief
The Earth is not 6,000 or 10,000 years old. It's not. And if that conflicts with your beliefs, I strongly feel you should question your beliefs.
way doe answers
Science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion.
