“People have this really weird conception of science. They think that it’s the one reliable source for information that we have. They think that even if their public leaders are not to be trusted, and their newspapers are inaccurate, and cultural and religious morals are treacherously shifting, that science, at the very least, will provide a stable compass. But the problem is that science can’t do that. Science is alive,. it evolves. It occasionally establishes a fact, but, if given enough time, it’ll probably refute that fact. Remember when the Earth was flat? Remember when the Sun and all the other planets spun around the Earth? Remember when humans became sick because the gods were angry with us? Science just uses a kind of rhetoric that sounds authoritative. Just like any other form of communication, however, science is susceptible to abuse, inaccuracy, and just bad interpretation.” —
(Geologist Vic Baker, as quoted in About a Mountain, by John D’Agata.)
Sometimes all I want to do is reread this book over and over and post all the quotes on this blog for the rest of time, but I won’t, and instead I’ll pick just one of my favorites, and again go suggest that you pick this thing up and read it already. It’s short, and moving, and great.
