“There’s a saying in the scientific community, that every great truth goes through three phases. First, people deny it. Second, they say that it conflicts with the Bible. Third, they say that they’ve known it all along.”

Today, scientists sound the alarm on other environmental dangers. Vested interests still hire their own scientists to confuse the issue. But in the end, nature, will not be fooled.

No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don’t ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives.

Aliens might be surprised to learn that in a cosmos with limitless starlight, humans kill for energy sources buried in the sand.

I know of no time in human history where ignorance was better than knowledge.

Curiously, light-loving green plants reject the Sun’s green light, reflecting it back at you, which is why they look green.

For me it’s more important to look at each constituency individually and find a community

And here he is recommending the firing of the top cop doing the Russia investigation, in clear violation of what he had, the attorney general, had committed to doing.
