Quotes

• “The truth is so simple, and yet I tremble as I put it into words. On a cosmological scale, the universe is symmetric in time. What we know as God is simply the collective consciousness traveling opposite to our temporal orientation. God’s realm is our unknowable future; everything that is real to Him remains only possibility to us. Ironically, the reverse is also true: The reality of our past remains unknown to God.”
• ““And we know that Burnouts are prone to fighting; it’s just a matter of time before they attack us.”Channing had heard these reports a hundred times. He had tried to explain that they were inventing imaginary dangers because no real ones threatened.”
• ““Over most of human history science did a vastly better job of locating the truth—by burning down the alternatives—than did religion’s wild stabs in the dark. And eventually, thanks to science, there wasn’t much darkness left. And—to no great surprise—in the small patch of darkness where science had cornered truth, there wasn’t a single traditional religion left.“Yes, most religions claimed they fit in with modern science, but it was usually science that they were warping to fit their religion.””
• ““No, no, no,” Paul said, shaking his head “Occam’s razor. This is getting far too complicated. The simplest explanation is that”—he waved his hand up at the moon—“that God doesn’t know what he’s talking about.””
• “I’m just saying it’s a possibility. Just because it’s complicated doesn’t mean it’s not true.”
• “She shrugged. “Maybe he is making sense. Maybe we’re just not trying hard enough to understand.””
