Scientists Are The Destroyers Of Myths And

“False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for everyone takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness; and when this is done, one path towards error is closed and the road to truth is often at the same time opened.”

“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.”

“Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.”

“All sciences are vain and full of errors that are not born of Experience, the mother of all Knowledge.”

“Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves.”

“Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions.”
