  • If children understand that beliefs should be substantiated with evidence, as opposed to tradition, authority, revelation or faith, they will automatically work out for themselves that they are atheists.

  • By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.

  • Evolution never looks to the future.
