"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled
after our own--a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human fraility. Neither can I believe that the
individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous
egotism. It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all
eternity...to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we can dimly perceive, and to try humbly
to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature."
~Dr. Albert Einstein~(from his obituary)
"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a
virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that
the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with all this artificial scaffolding"
~Thomas Jefferson~ (from a letter he wrote to John Adams)
