Just A Thought ~ WHEN WE SEE WE’RE WRONG, CHANGE
"It often happens that
scientists say, 'You know, that's a really good argument;
my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually
change their minds and you never hear that old view
from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen
as often as it should, because scientists are human
and change is sometimes painful. I can’t recall the
last time something like that happened in politics
or religion."
~ Carl Sagan, American Astronomer
and Author, 1934 -1996 ~
How firmly we hold onto our views
and beliefs, afraid to consider for a moment that
they might be wrong. In order to arrive at its present
state, for example, science in the West was confronted
and impeded every step of the way by religion, and
there are still many people who believe in the myth
of Creation, as found in the Bible!
