Freeman Dyson on good and evil

Science and religion are two human enterprises sharing many features.

God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond our comprehension.

The real world is muddy and messy and full of things that we do not yet understand.

All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

Edmund Burke1729–1797

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

Blaise Pascal1623–1662

• Anti-Religion

The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

Albert Einstein1879–1955
