Phil Plait continues to score big

At least when it comes to my list of favorite quotes. His latest bit of profundity to be added to the list:

“I don’t care what your religion is, if your holy book contradicts everything we know about reality, I pick reality.”

— Phil Plait, “Around the Weird Wide Web”, Bad Astronomy Blog, March 20, 2008
