I like this 1 from PZ,
“I don’t want to live peacefully with difficult realities, and I see no virtue in savoring excuses for avoiding a search for real answers. I am the product of millions of generations of individuals who each fought against a hostile universe and won, and I aim to maintain the tradition. I want my children to do the same, and I want all of my fellow human beings to struggle to wrest a better world from the rocks and gasses and radiation of this universe we find ourselves in. There are no easy solutions. Each of us can think of a thousand thorny problems, from the personal to the global, and we all know this: we will not solve them by going to church and kneeling down and praising an immaterial god…”
I like it, too. It’s so reasonable, and thoughtful… Have you seen Penn Jillette’s essay for “This I Believe”? You can listen to it here or just read it on that page. It reminds me a lot of your quote.
CJ – Just thought of you when someone sent this through to me.
