The universe is a self-organizing system.

Science is the most exciting adventure humanity has ever embarked upon.

The concept of a soul is a comforting illusion.

We are incredibly lucky to be alive and to be able to understand the universe.

Evolution is a beautiful and elegant process.

The pursuit of knowledge is the highest calling.

The meme for blind faith lives on by propagating itself through the brains of innocent children.

If there is a God, he's a pretty incompetent designer.

The theory of evolution by natural selection is not a theory of random chance. It is a theory of random mutation plus non-random selection.

The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, it seems like an awful waste of space.

I am an atheist, but I am an atheist with respect for the beauty of the universe and the elegance of its laws.

We are lucky to be alive. Life is a precious gift.

The world is full of wonders, but they are not supernatural.

Religion is not only wrong, it's harmful.

Science works. Miracles don't.

The universe is indifferent to our existence.

I am not an atheist who believes in God.

There is no evidence for God. There is no evidence for an afterlife. There is no evidence for anything supernatural.

The beauty of science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.

We are all Africans under the skin.
