„Does there truly exist an insuperable contradiction between religion and science? Can religion be superseded by science? The answers to these questions have, for centuries, given rise to considerable dispute and, indeed, bitter fighting. Yet, in my own mind there can be no doubt that in both cases a dispassionate consideration can only lead to a negative answer.“

— Albert Einstein

„Scepticism is not irrefutable, but obviously nonsensical, when it tries to raise doubts where no questions can be asked.For doubt can exist only where a question exists, a question only where an answer exists, and an answer only where something can be said.“
— Ludwig Wittgenstein

„For an answer which cannot be expressed the question too cannot be expressed.The riddle does not exist.If a question can be put at all, then it can also be answered.“

„Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.“

„Both borderline science and many religions are motivated in part by a serious concern about the nature of the universe and our role in it, and for this reason merit our consideration and regard. In addition, I think it possible that many religions involve at their cores an attempt to come to grips with profound mysteries of our individual life histories, as described in the last chapter. But both in borderline science and in organized religion there is much that is specious or dangerous. While the practitioners of such doctrines often wish there were no criticisms to which they are expected to reply, skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep insights can be winnowed from deep nonsense.“

„God does not exist—religion in science is an absurdity, in practice an immorality and in men a disease.“
