"Scientific prayer makes God a celestial lab rat, leading to bad science and worse religion." "Through no divine design or cosmic plan, we have inherited the mantle of life’s caretaker on the earth, the only home we have ever known." More In Science "Though many have tried, no one has ever yet explained away the decisive fact that science, which can do so much, cannot decide what it ought to do."― Joseph Wood Krutch "He is so old that his blood type was discontinued."― Bill Dana "Science is nothing, but trained and organized common sense."― Thomas Huxley
