“What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.”
― Christopher Hitchens

“The Enlightenment dared us to think, but there will always be a religion and a God for those who wouldn’t dare.”
― John D. Caputo, The Folly of God: A Theology of the Unconditional

“It is not very romantic, but reality is a better basis for building a relationship than fantasizing about a soul mate or counting on a god to find you a partner.”

“Unlinked by a pacemaker, the cells beat irregularly, spasmodically, each tapping out a rhythm approximate to the 350 beats a minute normal to a chick. But as the observer watches, over a period of hours an astonishing phenomenon occurs. Instead of five independent heart cells contracting at their own pace, first two, then three, and then all the cells pulse in unison. There are no longer five beats, but one. How is this sense of rhythm communicated in the saline, and why?”
― Paul W. Brand, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
