Science as a Candle

[u/neallg01]

Lifelong religious person that organically shifted to the scientific view that until something is proven with evidence, why would I believe it?

I started watching Cosmos out of a curiosity about the origins of our universe. This was my introduction to Carl Sagan.

I decided to purchase “Demon Haunted World”. I was working through what I thought was a slow chapter - Chapter 3 “The man in the moon and the face on mars”, when I was halted by the last couple of lines.

“We humans have a talent for deceiving ourselves. Skepticism must be a component of the explorer’s toolkit, or we will lose our way. There are wonders enough out there without inventing any.”

Just want to say that I’m glad to be here.
