Let's face it: There are people who are extremists in every corner of society, and whatever flag they're waving is something Bad Religion has stood against. Greg Graffin badcornerextremist Change image and share on social
My science teachers always encouraged their classes to 'go out and discover something' because all scientific endeavors depend on observation and experimentation. Through such pursuits, anyone can find something new to science, and if it's truly novel, the entire edifice of science might have to be restructured. Greg Graffin classdependdiscover share on social
I got interested in palaeontology and vertebrate history - sparked by books on human evolution - then vertebrate evolution. Studying with palaeontologists kindled my interest in fieldwork. Greg Graffin bookevolutionfieldwork Change image and share on social
I bill myself as a naturalist because if you say you're a naturalist, it gives people a conversation point to talk about what you actually do believe in, instead of when you say you're an atheist, and it's really just a statement of what you don't believe in.

I guess rock stars are role models for the kids who listen to that music. My role models have all been geologists - you know, the guys who are doing fieldwork until they're 70. Greg Graffin fieldworkgeologistguess Change image and share on social
I definitely was attracted to similar things in punk and science. They both depend on a healthy dose of skepticism. Greg Graffin attractdependdose Change image and share on social

I grew up playing football since the day I could walk; some of my greatest memories of childhood are playing touch football in all kinds of weather with my best friends. That's a part of the American experience that no corporation can destroy. Greg Graffin americanchildhoodcorporation share on social

One of the things that all religions have is a narrative of doomsday. There has to be some kind of overarching fear of the future. If there wasn't, none of the religions could invoke this important thing - that science has no evidence of, by the way - called free will. Greg Graffin calldoomsdayevidence share on social
