Neil deGrasse Tyson
“People cited violation of the First Amendment when a New Jersey schoolteacher asserted that evolution and the Big Bang are not scientific and that Noah's ark carried dinosaurs. This case is not about the need to separate church and state; it's about the need to separate ignorant, scientifically illiterate people from the ranks of teachers.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson

Carl Sagan
“The Hindu religion is the only one of the world’s great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths.
It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang.”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“Oh gravity, thou art a heartless bitch.”
Jim Parsons

“I've never really addressed those rumors because I figured, 'Why defend yourself against something that is not offensive'?”
Johnny Galecki

Lawrence M. Krauss
“Metaphysical speculation is independent of the physical validity of the Big Bang itself and is irrelevant to our understanding of it.”
Lawrence M. Krauss, A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing

Sean Carroll
“If everything in the universe evolves toward increasing disorder, it must have started out in an exquisitely ordered arrangement. This whole chain of logic, purporting to explain why you can't turn an omelet into an egg, apparently rests on a deep assumption about the very beginning of the universe. It was in a state of very low entropy, very high order. Why did our part of the universe pass though a period of such low entropy?”
Sean Carroll, From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time

“Let's not argue about it, let's study it.”
Leonard

Helen Keller
“A beam from the everlasting sun of God.
Rude and unresponsive are the stones;
Yet in them divine things lie concealed;
I hear their imprisoned chant:–
“We are fragments of the universe,
Chips of the rock whereon God laid the foundation of the world:”
Helen Keller, The Song of the Stone Wall

Suzanne Morrison
“GOD. Sometimes I think there might be a god out there, and that every once in a while he tunes in to see what we're up to, and have a good laugh at how we like to dress him up in various costume. Robes, thorny crowns, yarmulkes and curls, saris and butt-hugging yoga pants. Male, female, a genderless reincarnation factory; a Mother Earth or a withholding Father Christmas. I would think it would amuse the hell out of him. That we're all idolaters, worshiping figments of our own creation who bear no resemblance to him.
Maybe he's sitting in some alternate dimension somewhere, saying, 'Shit, I didn't even create the world! I was just cooking my dinner, not paying attention to the heat, and suddenly here was this big band and a few hours later, a bunch of dinosaurs...”
Suzanne Morrison, Yoga Bitch: One Woman's Quest to Conquer Skepticism, Cynicism, and Cigarettes on the Path to Enlightenment

Joseph Raphael Becker
“Stars are born
babies, just like us.
They live their lives,
then die without fuss.”
Joseph Raphael Becker, Annabelle & Aiden: Worlds Within Us

“The realization that time can behave like another direction of space means one can get rid of the problem of time having a beginning, in a similar way in which we got rid of the edge of the world.

Suppose the beginning of the universe was like the South Pole of the earth, with degrees of latitude playing the role of time.

As one moves north, the circles of constant latitude, representing the size of the universe, would expand. The universe would start as a point at the South Pole, but the South Pole is much like any other point.

To ask what happened before the beginning of the universe would become a meaningless question, because there is nothing south of the South Pole.”
Stephen Hawking, The Grand Design

“The sun god Ra was described as the ba which “came forth from Nun,” the ba “which Nun created.” In these terms, the ba is a potentiality which is actualized. According to these statements, Chaos produced Order. Nun, primordial Chaos, generated the god Ra who then made the ordered cosmos. This is actually extremely similar to science’s version of Big Bang theory. Randomness – primordial Chaos, formlessness or non-existence (non-being) – miraculously produced its opposite: a formed, ordered cosmos. In truth, science hasn’t moved on at all from Egyptian mythology. It has no better explanation for how the cosmos was produced than ancient Egyptian priests spinning mythological webs did.”
Steve Madison, Think Like an Egyptian: How the Ancient Mind Worked

Victor J. Stenger
“The claim that the universe *began* with the big bang has no basis in current physical and cosmological knowledge. The observations confirming the big bang do not rule out the possibility of a prior universe.”
Victor J. Stenger, God: The Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist

Victor J. Stenger
“As Nobel laureate physicist Frank Wilczek has put it, "The answer to the ancient question, 'Why is there something rather than nothing?' would then be that 'nothing' is unstable." ... In short, the natural state of affairs is something rather than nothing. An empty universe requires supernatural intervention--not a full one. Only by the constant action of an agent outside the universe, such as God, could a state of nothingness be maintained. The fact that we have something is just what we would expect if there is no God.”

Joseph Raphael Becker
“A long time ago,
there was diddly-squat.
Just nothing at all,
except... one tiny dot.”
Joseph Raphael Becker, Annabelle & Aiden: Worlds Within Us

Aishabella Sheikh
“In the beginning, there was nothing. And then BOOM! Universe.”
Aishabella Sheikh

“Stephen Hawking asks, 'what did God do before he created the Universe?'

Answer: He created Nothing”
Atom Tate

Mwanandeke Kindembo
“Everyone believes in zero as a number, but we always ignore it when counting. We start at one.”
Mwanandeke Kindembo

Victor J. Stenger
“The God of the gaps argument for God fails when a plausible scientific account for a gap in current knowledge can be given. I do not dispute that the exact nature of the origin of the universe remains a gap in scientific knowledge. But I deny that we are bereft of any conceivable way to account for that origin scientifically.”
Victor J. Stenger, God: The Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist

Kari L. Greenaway
“So put your stubbornness to rest,
Yes, open up your eyes.
No big bang has ever happened,
Was God brought us to life.”
Kari L. Greenaway, There is a God

Well Being Reader

Steven Seril
“Streams of brown, soapy water ran from him toward the drain. It circled there before falling in. He closed his eyes tightly so that the soap on his head wouldn’t burn them.

“Here’s a little brain exercise for you, Azure: I used to wonder where all the water goes,” said Neela, sitting on a stool outside the tub. “It doesn’t just disappear into nothingness. It needs to go somewhere. But we don’t have normal sewers like the ground districts do. So, what do you think happens to it?”

“I-I d-d-don’t know…”

“There are pipes beneath us we can’t see. Just because we can’t see the pipes doesn’t mean that the pipes aren’t there. They’re there, alright. They have to be. Winding and weaving. We see their effects, otherwise we’d be swimming in filth. Some come from our sinks. Some come from our tubs. Some come from our toilets. But they’re all connected somewhere. All that dirty water is filtered out and treated somewhere. Some giant collection pool.”
Steven Seril, The Destroyer of Worlds: An Answer to Every Question

Hugh Ross
“All the scientists were upstaged at least 2,500 years earlier by Job, Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and other Bible authors. The Bible’s prophets and apostles stated explicitly and repeatedly the two most fundamental properties of the big bang, a transcendent cosmic beginning a finite time ago and a universe undergoing a general expansion.”
Hugh Ross, The Creator and the Cosmos: How the Greatest Scientific Discoveries of the Century Reveal God

“A teoria do Big Bang é uma teoria que foi criada usando o pensamento dedutivo: a teoria da relatividade de Einstein previa que o universo deveria ser expandir. Hoje, temos formas mais empírica para confirmar a teoria.”
Jorge Guerra Pires, Ciência para não cientistas: como ser mais racional em um mundo cada vez mais irracional, vol. 1 (Bolsonarismo) (Inteligência Artificial, Democracia, e Pensamento Crítico)

“Beep Boop Bop”
Stephen Hawking

“religiosos constantemente nos acusar de sermos arrogantes, os cientistas e ateus, eles são realmente arrogante: pensar que eles já tinha as respostas a tudo há 2000 anos atrás, o que nos levou séculos para desenvolver cuidadosamente, um exército de pensadores. O criacionismo sozinho requer pelo menos quatro teorias científicas grandes (Big Bang, Teoria da Evolução, Estatística, e Genética), sem contar as menores que formam as grandes, ou todo o trabalho para comprovar e testar cada detalhe das grandes, cada detalhe, por menor que seja, precisamos testar extensivamente, e continuamente. A ciência não tem nenhuma teoria tão arrogante quanto o criacionismo.”
Jorge Guerra Pires, Seria a Bíblia um livro científico?: Por que a Bíblia Sagrada não deve ser levada a sério e como argumentar contra ela (Estudos Bíblicos para ateus 2)

Dejan Stojanovic
“Science must be antidogmatic. Only the church can be dogmatic. It would be better for the church to become more scientific and less dogmatic to better understand what God is before representing something created by man, not by God, in words written by man, not by God.”
Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

Wayne Gerard Trotman
“If everything came from nothing, how could anything be impossible?”
Wayne Gerard Trotman

Joey Lawsin
“Evolution is false, the tree of life proves it. The Big Bang is false, equations prove it. God is false, the Bible proves it.”
Joey Lawsin, Originemology

“With your capacity to think, reflect, and contemplate- you will be able to build your understanding of how the infinite fits into your life and how your life fits into the infinite.”
