Thread: Post (anti) Religious quotes here

I took it a completely differently. I know for sure Stephen Hawking is not in agreement with me and my views, nevertheless, he did make this statement. However, unlike most atheist on this forum approach to facts and evidence, Mr. Hawking on the other hand apparently has no problem with utilizing Occam's razor whenever he feels it's applicable instead of engaging in endless pseudo-science to explain the obvious. It's very apparent that Mr. Hawking does indeed engage into speculation, however, there is a distinction that one must ad-hear to and he doesn't call that speculation scientific fact.

But that's just how I took it.

More Sagan!


"The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity."

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion."

"A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism."

Thanks for trying.


"We have some men who call themselves scientists, when they should have instead got a job with Disney as "imagineers."

"If God didn't exist, the atheist wouldn't have something to not believe in".

Abiogenesis is not pseudoscience, it is what Occam's razor beckons us to prove, is a creator not adding a step?

Ok, now, I'm not quite positive, but I think, I think...Atheists disbelieve in the concept of god...which exists regardless...

Completely unrelated, but the other bit you mentioned reminds me of something...I find it hilarious when people attack evolution with arguments against abiogenesis.
