“Sacred Scripture, since it has no science above itself, can dispute with one who denies its principles only if the opponent admits some at least of the truths obtained through divine revelation; thus we can argue with heretics from texts in Holy Writ, and against those who deny one article of faith we can argue from another. If our opponent believes nothing of divine revelation, there is no longer any means of proving the articles of faith by reasoning, but only of answering his objections - if he has any - against faith.” IfsBelieveMeanChristianPrinciplesDivineHolyProveSacredDenyArguingScriptureOpponentsReasoningRevelationsOrthodoxArticlesDisputesObjectionsHereticDivine RevelationSacred Scripture Book:On Faith and Reason Source: On Faith and Reason
“I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics.

Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed.” BelieveMadeAgeI BelieveDecisionStudyRiskInformationRegretMonthsFindingsMalesFinalsSignificantDataAfrican AmericanReportsArticlesAutismJournalVaccinesI RegretProtocol Author:William Thompson
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." The adage is true as long as you don't really believe the words. But if your whole upbringing, and everything you have ever been told by parents, teachers and priests, has led you to believe, really believe, utterly and completely, that sinners burn in hell (or some other obnoxious article of doctrine such as that a woman is the property of her husband), it is entirely plausible that words could have a more long-lasting and damaging effect than deeds.” IfsBelieveMayLongWholeParentHurtBreakHellTeacherEffectsHusbandStonesPropertySticksDeedsBonesDoctrineSinnerPriestsLastingArticlesAdagesUpbringingHurt MePlausibleObnoxiousLong LastingSticks And Stones Author:Richard Dawkins
“When the child is twelve, your wife buys her a splendidly silly article of clothing called a training bra. To train what? I never had a training jock.
