“Yes, the universe had a beginning. Yes, the universe continues to evolve.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
(1958) American astrophysicist and science communicator
2000s
Context: Yes, the universe had a beginning. Yes, the universe continues to evolve. And yes, every one of our body's atoms is traceable to the big bang and to the thermonuclear furnace within high-mass stars. We are not simply in the universe, we are part of it. We are born from it. One might even say we have been empowered by the universe to figure itself out — and we have only just begun.
“If God could tell the story of the Universe, the Universe would become fictitious.”

Karl Popper
(1902–1994) Austrian-British philosopher of science
As quoted in Omnipotence and Other Theological Mistakes by Charles Hartshorne (1984)
Context: Appealing to his [Einstein's] way of expressing himself in theological terms, I said: If God had wanted to put everything into the universe from the beginning, He would have created a universe without change, without organisms and evolution, and without man and man's experience of change. But he seems to have thought that a live universe with events unexpected even by Himself would be more interesting than a dead one.
Clarence Darrow
(1857–1938) American lawyer and leading member of the American Civil Liberties Union
As quoted in a eulogy for Darrow by Emanuel Haldeman-Julius (1938)
