  • You know, my bullshit detector works first of all...if there's something you really want

  • to believe, that's what you should question the most. I don't question bad news very much.

  • I don't question things that go against what I believe very much. But boy, the stuff that

  • I really want to believe, I really question a lot.

  • Now, I was taught -- I grew up as a Christian. I suppose at some level I wanted to believe

  • someone was watching over me. But when I want to believe something, that's when I want to

  • question it the most. That's when I have to be the most careful. And I feel a little bit

  • disingenuous with that answer because I don't think I any longer want to believe in God.

  • My friend, who I miss very much, Hitch, Christopher Hitchens, said that wanting there to be a

  • -- and think about things you should think about. You should not feel about the speed

  • of light or evolution and you should not think about love. You should feel "I love you,"

  • you should think about reality. And when someone says they feel the universe was created by

  • a God, that's nonsense, just like saying, you know, "I've thought about it and maybe

  • I should love you." Don't mix those two.

  • And a lot of people seem to think that -- that feeling cheapens the science, that if you

  • feel something it cheapens it. And there's not enough said about how it cheapens the

  • emotion. You know, if you're spending your time feeling that the earth was created, instead

  • of... by intelligent design, you should be spending your time feeling love, feeling compassion,

  • feeling generosity and loyalty and all the stuff you should feel in your heart. Even

  • anger, even disappointment. But that doesn't change the world. You should think about the

  • world and feel about your heart.
