The Greatest Thing That Science Teaches You

We Are Living In A Society That Is Totally Dependent On Science And High Technology, And Yet Most Of Us Are Effectively Alienated And Excluded From Its Workings, From The Values Of Science, The Methods Of Science, And The Language Of Science. A Good Place To Start Would Be For As Many Of Us As Possible To Begin To Understand The Decision-making And The Basis For Those Decisions, And To Act Independently And Not Be Manipulated Into Thinking One Thing Or Another, But To Learn How To Think. That's What Science Does.

If You Are Searching For Sacred Knowledge And Not Just A Palliative For Your Fears, Then You Will Train Yourself To Be A Good Skeptic.

It Is A Great Tragedy That Science, This Wonderful Process For Finding Out What Is True, Has Ceded The Spiritual Uplift Of Its Central Revelations: The Vastness Of The Universe, The Immensity Of Time, The Relatedness Of All Life, And Life's Preciousness On Our Tiny Planet.

It Takes A Fearless, Unflinching Love And Deep Humility To Accept The Universe As It Is. The Most Effective Way He Knew To Accomplish That, The Most Powerful Tool At His Disposal, Was The Scientific Method, Which Over Time Winnows Out Deception. It Can't Give You Absolute Truth Because Science Is A Permanent Revolution, Always Subject To Revision, But It Can Give You Successive Approximations Of Reality.

Ten Long Trips Around The Sun Since I Last Saw That Smile, But Only Joy And Thankfulness That On A Tiny World In The Vastness, For A Couple Of Moments In The Immensity Of Time, We Were One.
