The Universe Does Not Care

For Many, To Live In A Universe That May Have No Purpose, And No Creator, Is Unthinkable.

For, After All, In Science One Achieves The Greatest Impact (and Often The Greatest Headlines) Not By Going Along With The Herd, But By Bucking Against It.

The Universe Is The Way It Is, Whether We Like It Or Not.

Whatever The Evolutionary Basis Of Religion, The Xenophobia It Now Generates Is Clearly Maladaptive.

Discerning The Merits Of Competing Claims Is Where The Empirical Basis Of Science Should Play A Role. I Cannot Stress Often Enough That What Science Is All About Is Not Proving Things To Be True But Proving Them To Be False. What Fails The Test Of Empirical Reality, As Determined By Observation And Experiment, Gets Thrown Out Like Yesterday's Newspaper.
