They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse - Emily Dickinson
There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle - Albert Einstein
The complexity of the present world is shattering expectations in every arena, most especially, in the geography of the soul. Lost as we all are, we can understand why some retreat into fundamentalisms that provide archaic certainties, holding houses of containment before the onrush of new realities. Others wander in a spiritual void, overwhelmed by the loss of all pattern, looking to material accomplishments to replace the loss of essence. Still others flee into "replacement strategies"-- psychotherapy, drugs, sex, growth seminars, travel - Jean Houston http://www.dailygrail.com/Religion-and-Spirituality/2010/3/The-Future-G…
t takes maturity to grasp that there are no gods & yet still behave as if there were - Deng Ming-Dao
Science and religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand - Dan Brown
Religion is not going to go away. It is a natural and legitimate response to the human condition, to human consciousness and to human ignorance. One of the most striking things revealed by the progress of science has been the revelation of how little we know and how easily what we do know can be overthrown - Bryan Appleyard http://www.newstatesman.com/religion/2012/02/neo-atheism-atheists-dawki…
Religion has gone away,and all we are left with is ourselves. So we have to be interested in ourselves - AS Byatt http://www.markvernon.com/friendshiponline/dotclear/index.php?post/2010…
Personally, I choose to go with Occam's razor: if there is no evidence of God, then the simplest explanation is that there is no God. Of course I can't rule out the possibility, I just think it is not very likely - Marcus Chown http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/culturelab/2010/05/looking-for-god-in…
Most educated people are aware that we're the outcome of nearly 4 billion years of Darwinian selection, but many tend to think that humans are somehow the culmination. Our sun, however, is less than halfway through its lifespan. It will not be humans who watch the sun's demise, 6 billion years from now. Any creatures that then exist will be as different from us as we are from bacteria or amoebae - Sir Martin Rees
Look. Believe what you like in a free society, but I'm afraid you've got to recognise yourself as a civil society institution which doesn't have any more right to privileges and charitable statuses and exemptions from laws than any other civil society organisation - A.C.
