Quotes:
"[A]s they are currently practiced, there is no common ground between
science and religion....Although just as in hostage negotiations, it's
probably best to keep both sides talking to each other."
"Not only are we in the universe, the universe is in us. I don't know of
any deeper spiritual feeling than what that brings upon me."
"I don't have an issue with what you do in the church, but I'm going to
be up in your face if you're going to knock on my science classroom and
tell me they've got to teach what you're teaching in your Sunday school.
Because that's when we're going to fight."
