Science Is A Kind Of Glorified Tailoring

The Past History Of Human Belief Is A Cautionary Tale. We Have Killed Thousands Of Our Fellow Human Beings Because We Believed They Had Signed A Contract With The Devil, And Had Become Witches. We Still Kill More Than A Thousand People Each Year For Witchcraft. In My View, There Is Only One Hope For Humankind To Emerge From What Carl Sagan Called "the Demon-haunted World" Of Our Past. That Hope Is Science.

That Is The Danger We Now Face. And This Is Why The Intermixing Of Science And Politics Is A Bad Combination, With A Bad History. We Must Remember The History, And Be Certain That What We Present To The World As Knowledge Is Disinterested And Honest.
