Richard Dawkins
“Evolution could so easily be disproved if just a single fossil turned up in the wrong date order. Evolution has passed this test with flying colours.”
Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution

Robert A. Heinlein
“Under our system every voter and officeholder is a man who has demonstrated through voluntary and difficult service that he places the welfare of the group ahead of personal advantage.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers

Richard Dawkins
“Why would an all-powerful creator decide to plant his carefully crafted species on islands and continents in exactly the appropriate pattern to suggest, irresistibly, that they had evolved and dispersed from the site of their evolution?”
Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution

Max Brooks
“...¿No es eso todo lo que somos? Un cerebro que es mantenido con vida por una compleja y vulnerable máquina llamada cuerpo. El cerebro no puede seguir vivo si parte de la máquina es destruida, o por lo menos privada de algunos elementos básicos como comida y oxígeno. Esa es la única diferencia considerable entre nosotros y “los muertos vivientes.” Sus cerebros no necesitan de todo ese sistema de soporte para vivir, así que es
necesario atacar el órgano directamente...”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Richard Dawkins
“In a designed economy there would be no trees, or certainly no very tall trees: no forests, no canopy. Trees are a waste. Trees are extravagant. Tree trunks are standing monuments to futile competition - futile if we think in terms of a planed economy. But the natural economy is not planned. Individual plants compete with other plants, of the same and other species, and the result is that they grow taller and taller, far taller than any planner would recommend.”
Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution
