10 of my favorite Neil deGrasse Tyson quotes:
because he's just so quotable
-
The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.
-
We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.
-
The more I learn about the universe, the less convinced I am that there's any sort of benevolent force that has anything to do with it, at all.
-
The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.
-
Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.
-
When scientifically investigating the natural world, the only thing worse than a blind believer is a seeing denier.
-
Ignorance is a virus. Once it starts spreading, it can only be cured by reason. For the sake of humanity, we must be that cure.
-
Down there between our legs, it's like an entertainment complex in the middle of a sewage system. Who designed that?
-
I love the smell of the universe in the morning.
-
God is an ever-receding pocket of? scientific ignorance.

Personally I totally agree with every quote. You know every religion claims to believe as they do because of reason, education or intelligence given by their God in Revelation. But whether they admit it or not, all of them or assuming their preferred conclusions on faith, and this would still be true even if all their gods exist. Believe as hard as you want to, but convincing yourself however firmly still can't change the reality of things. Seeing is believing, but seeing isn't knowledge. Believing isn't knowing. Subjective convictions are meaningless in science, and I witness testimony is the least reliable form of evidence.

I like 7 and 9.
7 because I believe ignorance is contagious.
9 because they asked the astronauts what the moon rocks smelled like when they came back inside the their ship. They said spent shotgun shells. I can beleive that.

NdT took over where Carl Sagan left off. I still like Sagan's "I would rather know than believe."
