Country music in the mid-'90s was a big influence on my career and I played all the songs that are referenced in ''94' back in my club days.

The assumption that nature is all there is and that nature has been governed by the same rules at all times and places makes it possible for natural science to be confident that it can explain such things as how life began.

By exploring the political and moral colorings of discoveries about what makes us tick we can have a more honest science and a less fearful intellectual milieu.

Science makes no pretension to eternal truth or absolute truth.

Biology is the science. Evolution is the concept that makes biology unique.

The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.
