Famous Laurence Overmire Quotes

“Science is a tool to help us all find the truth based on facts and evidence. It is not a religion. Yet many people are treating it as such, as a matter of faith or belief. If your religion contradicts the facts and evidence of science, it ought to make you reconsider what it is you believe.”

“What is really important is not what we believe to be true in our heads, but what we know to be true in our hearts: love. In other words, if a person is loving and kind, that ought to be enough to connect with one another and work together for the sake of all of our children. We need to care about all human beings, all life on the planet, and the planet itself. That’s where we have to agree.”
