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.

Not only do we live among the stars, the stars live within us.
Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.
Whether or not you can never become great at something, you can always become better at it. Don’t ever forget that! And don’t say “I’ll never be good”. You can become better! and one day you’ll wake up and you’ll find out how good you actually became.
The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.
Dinosaurs are extinct today because they lacked opposable thumbs and the brainpower to build a space program.

I don’t have an issue with what you do in the church, but I’m gonna be up in your face if you’re gonna knock on my science classroom and tell me they’ve got to teach what you’re teaching in your Sunday school. Because that’s when we’re gonna fight!
Science is a philosophy of discovery. Intelligent design is a philosophy of ignorance.
When students cheat on exams it’s because our school system values grades more than students value learning.
If that’s how you want invoke your evidence for God, then God is an ever receding pocket of scientific ignorance that is getting smaller and smaller and smaller as time goes on.
In short, were it not for our ability to analyze spectra, we would know next to nothing about what goes on in the universe.
