Im a scientist, not a theologian. I dont know if there is a God or not. Religion requires certainty. – James Lovelock
There arent just bad people that commit genocide we are all capable of it. Its our evolutionary history. – James Lovelock
What I like about sceptics is that in good science you need critics that make you think: Crumbs, have I made a mistake here? If you dont have that continuously, you really are up the creek. The good sceptics have done a good service, but some of the mad ones I think have not done anyone any favours. – James Lovelock
Fudging the data in any way whatsoever is quite literally a sin against the holy ghost of science. Im not religious, but I put it that way because I feel so strongly. Its the one thing you do not ever do. Youve got to have standards. – James Lovelock
Most modern science fiction went to school on Dune. Even Harry Potter with its boy protagonist who has not yet grown into his destiny shares a common theme. When I read it for the first time, I felt like I had learned another language, mastered a new culture, adopted a new religion. – Gary Ross
