I really believe in the idea of the future.

My experience in science has always been that the future always exceeds what we believe is possible. I suspect that we will explore the universe.

In particular, for younger researchers on whom the future of mankind may depend. We believe that they are working with all the scientific wisdom at their disposal for the preservation of the inheritance of the earth and for the lasting survival of mankind.

I have an idealistic view of science as a liberalising and progressive force for humanity.

I love science, and I believe in it. I have a faith that science can solve problems and make the world a better place.

Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back.

I don't know if science and reason will ultimately help guide humanity to a better and more peaceful future, but I am certain that this belief is part of what keeps the 'Star Trek' fandom going.

As both a scientist and a humanist myself, I have struggled to understand different claims to knowledge, and I have eventually come to a formulation of the kind of religious belief that would, in my view, be compatible with science.

We now witness the constructive work on a foundation that will endure through the ages. That foundation is the god of science - revealed to us in terms that will harmonize with our intelligence.

I saw science as being in harmony with humanity.
