Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
Wasn’t it always this way? When had terrorists ever accomplished anything but to enrage people, drive them towards greater security, greater sacrifice of freedom? They only gave their oppressors more excuses for oppression. And the oppressors just drove the oppressed further towards violent rebellion. Extremists on both sides gave power to the very forces they fought against.
But now, finally, what would the meaning be of the word “truth” to a modern scientist? Surely not the meaning it would have for a mystic! For the really great and essential fact about the scientific revelation—the most wonderful and most challenging fact—is that science does not and cannot pretend to be “true” in any absolute sense. It does not and cannot pretend to be final. It is a tentative organization of mere “working hypotheses” (”Oh, those scientists!” “Yes, I know, but they found the bones”) that for the present appear to take into account all the relevant facts now known.
