I am a believer in the evolutionary process, and yet I have sympathy for the friends of mine who are creationists. I don't find the positions incompatible.

I count myself a a rationalist and a skeptic with a very conscious awareness of my indebtedness to Western Christian civilization, and I am a fairly passionate defender of it.

I am a believer and a conformist.

I am a believer in cooperation.

I am a great believer in luck.

I am a firm believer in slavery.
