“I absolutely believe what Ellie [Arroway, the atheist astronomer in the movie Contact] believes—that there is no direct evidence, so how could you ask me to believe in God when theres absolutely no evidence that I can see? I do believe in the beauty and the awe-inspiring mystery of the science thats out there that we havent discovered yet, that there are scientific explanations for phenomena that we call mystical because we dont know any better.” —Jodie Foster, interview with Dan McLeod, The Georgia Straight, July 10-17, 1997, page 43, cited by Celebrity Atheist List.
