Neil goes on to say "For me, that is the most profound revelation of 20th century astrophysics and I look forward to what the 21st century will bring us, given the frontiers that are now unfolding."

yes but maybe not ban...just teach them to think critically and question their beliefs, then religion will go away on its own ;)

This moves me every time in a way that i cannot explain.
I feel calm and safe.
I feel like everything around me vanishes, and only the life it self makes sense.
Thank you for creating something this beautiful, you inspire people !

I grew up in a Christian reformed family which, if you know is highly contradictory of anything relating to Evolution, Darwinism or The Big Bang. However, I was lucky enough to go my own way without any prejudice. That's what it all boils down to, our right to choose without judgement from our peers, family and friends. We're all stuck on this ridiculous piece of dirt, hurdling through space at 67,000 miles per hour. We might as well at least try to understand one another.

You're right Neil wouldn't ban religion, but he would most certainly fight to keep it out of science and in classrooms. That's what is wrong with America, we have people trying to ban most science theories and replace it with their religion. It is a product of when you become literally brainwashed by religion.
