“Religion demands complete conviction, but science advises against that. It demands understanding instead of belief, so it must be based on verifiable evidence; it must explain related observations with a measurable degree of accuracy; it must withstand continuous critical analysis in peer review; and it must be falsifiable too.

I think it's funny when people realize that the less you believe the more reasonable you are, but they stop before they reach the logical conclusion.”
