Wize Words of December!

There is nothing wrong with being agnostic in cases where we lack evidence one way or the other. It is the reasonable position.

Carl Sagan was proud to be agnostic when asked whether there was life elsewhere in the universe. When he refused to commit himself, his interlocutor pressed him for a 'gut feeling' and he immortally replied: "But I try not to think with my gut, really, it's okay to

reserve judgment until the evidence is in".

Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion

Let's Think, 8 December, 13

"How could the human mind progress, while tormented with frightful phantoms, and guided by men, interested in perpetuating its ignorance and fears? Man has been forced to vegetate in his primitive stupidity: he has been taught stories about invisible powers upon whom his happiness was supposed to depend. Occupied solely by his fears, and by unintelligible reveries, he has always been at the mercy of priests, who have reserved to themselves the right of thinking for him, and of directing his actions."
- Baron d'Holbach, encyclopedist and passionate Enlightenment atheist in Good Sense, 1772
