The prospect of God being proven not to exist frightens me because of all the times I have heard a believer ask, "without God, why are you not out raping and murdering?" Some people just need a higher authority watching over them to do the right thing.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
