To The Biologist The Problem

It Wasn't Until I Had Performed By First Autopsy That I Realized That Even The Drabest Human Exteriors Could Contain The Most Beautiful Viscera. After That, I Would Console Myself For The Plainness Of My Fellow Bus-riders By Dissecting Them In My Imagination.

My Practise As A Scientist Is Atheistic. That Is To Say, When I Set Up An Experiment I Assume That No God, Angel, Or Devil Is Going To Interfere With Its Course; And This Assumption Has Been Justified By Such Success As I Have Achieved In My Professional Career. I Should Therefore Be Intellectually Dishonest If I Were Not Also Atheistic In The Affairs Of The World. And I Should Be A Coward If I Did Not State My Theoretical Views In Public.
