“ Selling eternal life is an unbeatable business, with no customers ever asking for their money back after the goods are not delivered. Victor J. Stenger
“ The claim that the universe *began* with the big bang has no basis in current physical and cosmological knowledge. The observations confirming the big bang do not rule out the possibility of a prior u… Victor J. Stenger
“ The existence of matter and energy in the universe did not require the violation of energy conservation at the assumed creation. In fact, the data strongly support the hypothesis that no such miracle… Victor J. Stenger
“ The transition of nothing-to-something is a natural one, not requiring any agent. Victor J. Stenger
“ As Nobel laureate physicist Frank Wilczek has put it, "The answer to the ancient question, 'Why is there something rather than nothing?' would then be that 'nothing' is unstable." ... In short, the na… Victor J. Stenger
“ Observations in cosmology look just as they can be expected to look if there is no God. Victor J. Stenger
“ The origin and the operation of the universe do not require any violations of the laws of physics. Victor J. Stenger
“ The complex order we now observe [in the universe] could *not* have been the result of any initial design built into the universe at the so-called creation. The universe preserves no record of what we… Victor J. Stenger
“ The most fundamental laws of physics are not restrictions on the behaviour of matter. Rather, they are restrictions on the way physicists may describe that behaviour. Victor J. Stenger
“ The myth of quantum consciousness sits well with many whose egos have made it impossible for them to accept the insignificant place science perceives for humanity, as modern instruments probe the fart… Victor J. Stenger
“ Rather than being handed down from above, like the Ten Commandments, they [the laws of physics] look exactly as they should look if they were not handed down from anywhere...they follow from the very… Victor J. Stenger
“ We have yet to encounter an observable astronomical phenomenon that require a supernatural element to be added to a model in order to describe the even...Observations in cosmology look just as they ca… Victor J. Stenger
“ The God of the gaps argument for God fails when a plausible scientific account for a gap in current knowledge can be given. I do not dispute that the exact nature of the origin of the universe remains… Victor J. Stenger
