That Crazy Steve

Stephen Hawking in an interview with Diane Sawyer.

When Sawyer asked if there was a way to reconcile religion and science, Hawking said, "There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, [and] science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works."

    Reality is a bitch when it can be documented; superstition is at best a fancy and at worst a diseased limb. It consistently can't be documented; thus, it demands a newer, heightened level of credulity and hysteria that overrides reason, dismisses "reality-based" solutions, and scape-goats the "others."

    As the medieval ethical vacuity of religiosity usurps and consumes the modern products and humanism of science, our species heads straight for an apocalypse more horrible than any of the faithfuls' gods could have threatened.
