It's simply beautiful.

"Why, in such a place, where the once-great mysteries have been solved, does anyone still believe in God or Jesus or a Supreme Being of any kind? Haven't we outgrown it? Isn't it like Pinocchio, the puppet? When he found he could move without his strings, did he look the same way at Geppetto?"
"Now. Look, if you say that science will eventually prove that there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all in the end of the search.
And no matter how far they try to go the other way--to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty--at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When life comes to an end?
When you come to the end, that's where God begins."
