The very idea of supernatural magic - including miracles - is incoherent, devoid of sensible meaning.

Anybody who has something sensible or worthwhile to say should be able to say it calmly and soberly, relying on the words themselves to convey his meaning, without resorting to yelling.

The whole idea of creating saints, it's pure 'Monty Python.' They have to clock up two miracles.

The truly adult view [...] is that our life is as meaningful, as full and as wonderful as we choose to make it. And we can make it very wonderful indeed.

The truth is more magical - in the best and most exciting sense of the word - than any myth or made-up mystery or miracle. Science has its own magic: the magic of reality.

I am very comfortable with the idea that we can override biology with free will.
