bangs reason bigs
The Big Bang banged, and for some reason we’re here. And that’s astonishing. And that we can understand that, that’s the most astonishing.
tree spheres earth
Hard to find anything lovelier than a tree. They grow at right angles to a tangent of the nominal sphere of the Earth.
stars people stuff
People and stars are made of the same stuff.
love-you discovery joy
As my old professor Carl Sagan said so often, 'When you’re in love, you want to tell the world.’ And I base my beliefs on the information and the process that we call science. It fills me with joy to make discoveries every day of things I’ve never seen before. It fills me with joy to know that we can pursue these answers. It is an astonishing thing that we are — you and I are one of the ways the universe knows itself.
teacher looks entertaining
If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.
believe years earth
No matter what you may believe spiritually or otherwise, the Earth is clearly not 6,000 or 10,000 years old.
civilization games asteroids
If the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it's game over. It's control-alt-delete for civilization.
opportunity laughing world
The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.
cycling work-out car
Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There's something wrong with a society that drives a car to work out in a gym.
animal meaning-of-life way
The meaning of life is pretty clear: Living things strive to pass their genes into the future. The claim that we would not have morals or ethics without religion is extraordinary. Animals in nature seem to behave in moral ways without organized religion.
dog speak communicate
I speak with dogs frequently. They don't really talk, but I feel they're communicating.
believe engineering people
There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.
mysterious wonderful reverence
There are two questions that get to us all: Are we alone in the Universe? And, where did we come from? For me, science provides a much more satisfactory way to seek answers than does any religion I've come across. With that said, the universe is mysterious and wonderful. It fills me with reverence for nature and our place among the stars; our place in space.
running believe keys
Science is the key to our future, and if you don’t believe in science, then you’re holding everybody back. And it’s fine if you as an adult want to run around pretending or claiming that you don’t believe in evolution, but if we educate a generation of people who don’t believe in science, that’s a recipe for disaster. We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young people is wrong.
