They want us eating the food they are making in laboratories

From this era on, I think invention will be the parent of necessity – and not the other way around.' That was easy for Sherkaner Underhill to say. He didn't have to engineer the science into reality.

He watched the results, using them to design new experiments. He was guided by what he saw rather than by what he wanted to believe.

The Universe] does not care, and even with all our science there are some disasters that we can not avert. All evil and good is petty before nature. Personally, we take comfort from this, that there is a universe to admire that can not be twisted to villainy or good, but which simply is.

Observations in cosmology look just as they can be expected to look if there is no God.

The transition of nothing-to-something is a natural one, not requiring any agent.

The diameters of nuclei range from 0.8 femtometers for hydrogen to 15 femtometers for uranium, where 1 femtometer equals 10-15 meter. The diameter of the hydrogen atom is about 0.11 nanometer, while that of the uranium atom is 0.35 nanometer, where 1 nanometer equals 10-9 meter. So, roughly speaking, the nucleus of the atom is a million times smaller than the atom itself. Matter is, indeed, mostly empty space.
