I was greatly interested in the incident of Eve and the serpent, and thought Eve's calmness was perfectly noble. I asked Mr. B. if he had ever heard of another woman who, being approached by a serpent would not excuse herself and break for the nearest timber.

Whenever anybody tries to tell me that they believe [the creation of the Earth] took place in seven days, I reach for a fossil and go, “Fossil!” And if they keep talking I throw it just over their head.

The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.
