“Visit a typical science classroom and you will discover far more than ...” — Nancy Pearcey Quote

“Visit a typical science classroom and you will discover far more than empirical facts being taught. The dominant worldview among scientific intellectuals is evolutionary naturalism, which holds that humans are essentially biochemical machines.”

“Americans have grown impatient with the relentless politicizing of every area of life.”

“In Gnosticism, the physical world did not ultimately matter - which meant physical suffering did not matter either. Seeking 'enlightenment' meant cultivating an attitude of detachment, even indifference.”

“We do not create marriage from scratch. Instead, in the elegant language of the marriage ceremony, we 'enter into the holy estate of matrimony.'”

“The costs of marriage breakdown are borne by the entire society, and therefore it is reasonable for the entire society to demand support for marriage - to insist that it is privileged both culturally and legally.”

“Modern secular thought has its own dualism: It treats only the physical world as knowable and testable, while locking everything else - mind, spirit, morality, meaning - into the realm of private, subjective feelings. The so-called fact/value split.”

“Curiosity - the rover and the concept - is what science is all about: the quest to reveal the unknown.”

“ChatGPT is like using Google, a calculator, or spellcheck: a tool is only as good as the mind using it.”

“Size does matter.”

“The first person to measure the rate of acceleration of a free falling body was Father Giambattista Riccioli.”

“I got to spend all of my time every day at work reading and editing papers about cutting-edge technical research and getting paid for it. Then I'd go home at night and turn what I learned into science fiction stories.”
