Jeff Schweitzer Quotes

• La religión es como nuestro apéndice, un vestigio de un pasado primitivo. Tal vez dentro de unos milenios el dios de Abraham suscite la misma curiosa diversión que suscitan hoy los dioses de la lluvia y del sol. O tal vez nuestro dios simplemente sea archivado junto con Zeus y Júpiter. Algún día. Pero hasta entonces, sufrimos las consecuencias de una población que cree en ausencia de pruebas y, lo que es más curioso, rechaza una realidad objetiva que entra en conflicto con creencias fácilmente demostrables como falsas.

• Human beings are not inevitable, and our brief existence is not preordained to be extended into the distant future. If Homo sapiens is to have a continued presence on earth, humankind will reevaluate its sense of place in the world and modify its strong species-centric stewardship of the planet. Our collective concepts of morality and ethics have a direct impact on our species' ultimate fate.
