God and Science Don’t Mix

By LAWRENCE M. KRAUSS June 26, 2009.
Print: The Wall Street Journal

My practice as a scientist is atheistic. That is to say, when I set up an experiment I assume that no god, angel or devil is going to interfere with its course; and this assumption has been justified by such success as I have achieved in my professional career. I should therefore be intellectually dishonest if I were not also atheistic in the affairs of the world.

—J.B.S. Haldane
