	Steven Weinberg on the Conflict Between Religion and Science
		Weinberg would eventually win the Nobel Prize in physics for developing a theory that unified electromagnetic force and the so-called weak interaction, two of the four fundamental forces.
		Science, Weinberg insists, is not merely a belief system and certainly is not, as philosopher Paul Feyerabend suggested, “a superstition.” Science is the path to truth, Weinberg thinks, and he is not shy about showing his irritation with philosophers who disagree.
		Weinberg has a ready explanation for those to point to what seems to be evidence of conscious design, such as the just-right radioactive state of carbon or the very low energy density of empty space (the small “cosmological constant”).

	The First Three Minutes - Steven Weinberg
		Reading The First Three Minutes by Steven Weinberg was one of main factors that inspired me to take an MSc in Astronomy in 1980, where I based my main project around his advanced textbook Gravitation and Cosmology.
		The standard model of cosmology hasn't changed in the last ten years, especially in the area of particle creation during the Big Bang in which Steven Weinberg is a leading expert.
		Steven Weinberg provides a comprehensive, fast paced, and highly literate account of the radical observations that underpin today's theories of cosmology - for instance, the galactic red shifts observed by Hubble and the cosmic microwave background radiation detected by Penzias and Wilson.

	"Free People From Superstition", Steven Weinberg speaks, Freethought Today April 2000
		Weinberg addressed the audience at the 22nd annual Freedom From Religion Foundation convention in San Antonio last November on "insidious" creationist arguments, the Big Bang and its evidences, public misunderstandings of the scientific method, and his rejection of religion.
		Weinberg confessed he has almost envied his friends in evolutionary biology for being on the front lines fighting the creationists.
		Weinberg does not know "whether or not we're headed for another Dark Age when people do start crusades and jihads and pogroms again, or whether the course of rationalism and humanitarianism is going to continue, and religion will gradually dwindle into something much less important.

	The Austin Chronicle Politics: Capitol Chronicle
		In 1979, Weinberg won the Nobel Prize in physics, and he has been for many years a defense research consultant, working at one time on the still-unsolved problem of consistently distinguishing decoys from missile warheads.
		Weinberg makes three strong arguments against missile defense: It is technically impractical if not literally impossible, it devotes scarce resources against the least likely nuclear threat, and it encourages the proliferation of nuclear weapons while simultaneously increasing the likelihood of nuclear catastrophe.
		Preoccupied as we currently are with "rogue states" and terrorists, Weinberg argues that there are much cheaper and more likely ways for such enemies to attack, and for which missile defense is no answer.

		In a recent New York Times profile, James Glanz remarked, "Steven Weinberg is perhaps the world's most authoritative proponent of the idea that physics is hurtling toward a 'final theory,' a complete explanation of nature's particles and forces that will endure as the bedrock of all science forevermore.
		Each of these essays, which span fifteen years, struggles in one way or another with the necessity of facing up to the discovery that the laws of nature are impersonal, with no hint of a special status for human beings.
		Steven Weinberg, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Texas, is the author of many books, including The Quantum Theory of Fields, and, for general readers, The First Three Minutes and Dreams of a Final Theory.

	Contra Weinbergium: Steven Weinberg, ++Rowan Williams, and Ernest Gellner on fundamentalism and liberalism
		Perhaps worse, Weinberg indiscriminately lumps together all so-called "religious liberals" with no awareness or interest in the often sharp differences among so-called "liberals." He shows no awareness of significant distinctions in their actual views, or major differences in their actual degree of rejection or acceptance of various traditional beliefs.
		Another dogmatic agnostic/atheist of the Steven Weinberg type showing a total incomprehension of liberal and middle-of-the-road Christian theology was the Czech-English cultural anthropologist and social philosopher Ernest Gellner (1925-1995).
		Again like Weinberg, he seems to have lumped together all so-called "liberal theologians" with no awareness of or interest in significant distinctions in their actual views, or major differences in their actual degree of rejection or acceptance of various traditional beliefs.
