From Prometheus Spring-Summer 2013 catalog:


The total absence of empirical facts and theoretical arguments to support the existence of any component to reality other than atoms and the void can be taken as proof beyond a reasonable doubt that such a component is nowhere to be found. Science has drilled down to the very bedrock of reality and found that neither God nor any other supernatural explanation is necessary or warranted.
