If we are going to allow ourselves the luxury of postulating organized complexity without offering an explanation, we might as well make a job of it and simply postulate the existence of life as we know it!”

The intensity of the present confusion about the nature and existence of God is a symptom of this yearning within the whole of our modern culture.”

Through research each scientist grows as a human being and helps others to do likewise.”
