“不偏不倚” 是一种常被人称道的态度,但这种态度只在证据本身旗鼓相当的情形下才是真正可取的。在证据明显不对称的情形下采取 “不偏不倚” 的态度则往往反而是极大的偏倚。”

“Mensa is a club restricted to high-IQ individuals, and one must pass IQ-type tests to be admitted. Yet 44 percent of the members of this club believed in astrology, 51 percent believed in biorhythms, and 56 percent believed in the existence of extraterrestrial visitors—all beliefs for which there is not a shred of evidence.”

“我其实很欣赏这种措辞明确的观点,它比那些利用语言的模糊性,有选择地附会现代科学的做法诚实得多。一个明确的观点倒下了,我不会取笑它;一个不诚实的附会被戳穿,才是笑柄。”

“不能证明其不存在的其实是实证层面以外的抽象上帝(比如某种笼统的高等智慧),宗教里的具体上帝则完全不同,因为捆绑了一本《圣经》之类的经书,那类经书的很多叙述不仅早已被证伪,而且包含了自相矛盾,从这个意义上讲,宗教里的具体上帝其实早已在“证明”一词的任何常规意义下 被证明为不存在了。最后,对一意坚持无效推理和偷换概念的信徒,不妨推荐这样一种终极回应:“是的,我不能证明上帝不存在,并且我也不能证明吃狗屎的上帝不存在。”

“上帝在第五天才造出“水中所滋生各样有生命的动物 every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly),却在第三天就创造了地上的青草、菜蔬和树木,这顺序跟现代科学也是冲突的按照后者,水里的生物比陆地生物的出现早得多(虽然那并不意味着水里的每一种生物都比每一种陆地生物出现得早)。”
