Ricky Gervais Quotes
Science is constantly proved all the time. If we take something like any fiction, any holy book, and destroyed it, in a thousand years' time, that wouldn't come back just as it was. Whereas if we took every science book and every fact and destroyed them all, in a thousand years they'd all be back because all the same tests would be the same result.
Gervais, Ricky. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. CBS, 1 Feb. 2017.
Belief and/or ideology of even teh vast majority or the world has no influence on the vaidity and truth of science. A particualr scientific statement is true or not based an many factors, none of which have anything to do with beliefs, world views, custims, cultures, or religious doctrine.
The scientist insists on verification; the religious theologian does not; the philosopher sometimes does and sometimes does not.
