O scientista Stephen Hawking no seu novo livro the grand design (o grande projeto) explica que o universo se faz sozinho
O Dalai Lama no twitter (www.twitter.com/dalailama) sugere que a etica independe da religião:
DalaiLama no twitter: There must be a way of promoting human values without involving religion, based on common sense, experience and recent scientific findings.
Peace does not come through prayer, we human beings must create peace.
I sometimes say that religion is something we can perhaps do without. What we cannot do without are the basic spiritual qualities.
My aim has been to appeal for an approach to ethics based on universal rather than religious principles.
