"Three quarters of the American population literally believe in religious miracles. The numbers who believe in the devil, in resurrection, in God doing this or that -- it's astonishing. These numbers aren't duplicated anywhere else in the industrial world. You'd have to maybe go to mosques in Iran or do a poll among old ladies in Sicily to get numbers like this. Yet this is the American population." -Noam Chomsky

"Human language appears to be a unique phenomenon, without significant analogue in the animal world. ... There seems to be no substance to the view that human language is simply a more complex instance of something to be found elsewhere in the animal world. ... In fact, the processes by which the human mind achieved its present stage of complexity and its particular form of innate organization are a total mystery."
-Noam Chomsky
