going
to dignify your impudence and ignorance with further comment, lest I do
more
damage to someone so misguided."

"To the extent that we resort to the use of words, we relinquish direct
experience of the infinite and eternal reality that abides beyond words.
Accordingly, words do their best when they awaken us to the ineffable
adventure throbbing all around us."
--M. T. Ness
"May we all live in eternity's sunrise,
on the seashore of endless worlds."

I am all in favor of a dialogue between science and religion, but
not a constructive dialogue. One of the great achievements of
science has been, if not to make it impossible for intelligent
people to be religious, then at least to make it possible for them
not to be religious. We should not retreat from this
accomplishment.
-- Peroration of a talk by Steven Weinberg at an AAAS conference
on anthropics, reprinted in the _New York Review_
"[Y]ou can't really enjoy the view from the top of the 'All your base are
belong to us' mountain unless you've climbed it, sweating a little,
feeling your muscles work. But once you're there, and the unseen world is
spread out in light and shadows, the reward is delight and wonderment."
--Damien Broderick
