History is but the record of the public and official acts of human beings. It is our object, therefore, to humanize our history and deal with people past and present; people who ate and possibly drank; people who were born, flourished and died; not grave tragedians, posing perpetually for their photographs.

It's survival of the hang-in-there's, or the made-the-cuts, or the just good-enoughs.

Science is the key to our future, and if you don__ believe in science, then you__e holding everybody back. And it__ fine if you as an adult want to run around pretending or claiming that you don__ believe in evolution, but if we educate a generation of people who don__ believe in science, that__ a recipe for disaster. We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young people is wrong.

Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.

Everybody who's a physician, who makes vaccines, who wants to find the cure for cancer. Everybody who wants to do any medical good for humankind got the passion for that before he or she was 10.

You can believe what you want religiously. Religion is one thing, but science, provable science, is something else.

I've got no problem with anybody's religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that's just wrong.

We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young people is wrong.

I really believe in science. It is a faith. It is a reverence akin to religion. But as we always say, it's different from religion in that, as near as we can tell, it exists outside of us. It has an objective quality, the process of science.

If you're an adult and you choose not to believe in science, fine, but please don't prevent your children from learning about it and letting them draw their own conclusions.

Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.

When we see the shadow on our images, are we seeing the time 11 minutes ago on Mars? Or are we seeing the time on Mars as observed from Earth now? It's like time travel problems in science fiction. When is now; when was then?

Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science - in all of biology.

There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.

Unlike science, creationism cannot predict anything, and it cannot provide satisfactory answers about the past.

Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back.

But investment in space stimulates society, it stimulates it economically, it stimulates it intellectually, and it gives us all passion.
