Naturalism teaches one of the most important things in this world. There is only this life, so live wonderfully and meaningfully.

Through such pursuits, anyone can find something new to science, and if it's truly novel, the entire edifice of science might have to be restructured.

From Greg Graffin

From Greg Graffin
