Excerpts from Reflections on Life
A problem arises whenever we insist that for a statement to be scientifically true, it must first agree with our opinion of what is ethically good.
Most people, including many biologists, consider the creation of the first living cell to have been the critical, decisive step in the development of life on Earth. I disagree. I believe that this event was quite easy compared to the achievement of sexual reproduction.
... changes in government, economic booms and busts, and military victories and defeats are only short-term ripples in the life of nations. The river runs much deeper. Nations reflect their people, rather than vice versa.
If anything becomes more and more evident for any thinking observer of nature ... it is that nature does not work on the concept of purpose.
We now have the ability and the responsibility to determine the trajectory along which our species travels through the third millennium. It is time we accept our responsibility to future generations and to the planet on which we evolved.
