Science shows us what exists but not what to do about it.

There was emptiness more profound than the void between the stars, for which there was no here and there and before and after, and yet out of that void the entire plenum of existence sprang forth.

Stars are like animals in the wild. We may see the young but never the actual birth, which is a veiled and secret event.

Science cannot resolve moral conflicts, but it can help to more accurately frame the debates about those conflicts.

The world changed from having the determinism of a clock to having the contingency of a pinball machine.
