The Discipline of Science: Comment from Thomas Huxley

By jennifer
January 3, 2007

"My business is to each my aspirations to conform themselves to fact, not to try and make facts harmonise with my aspirations.

Science seems to me to teach in the highest and strongest manner the great truth which is embodied in the Christian concept of entire surrender to the will of God.

Sit down before each fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing. I have only began to learn content and piece of mind since I have resolved at all risks to do this."

Thomas Huxley, 1860

  2. la Panter, An interesting youtube link . Did you notice that a percentage of the the animal population believed the "giant storm" fear campaign. fortunately for those animals the PP remained calm and collected and obtained results.

    Jen, sometimes we need the extreme views to put rational ones into perspective.
