pjthompsonRandom quote of the day:
"Science involves a seemingly self-contradictory mix of attitudes: On the one hand it requires an almost complete openness to all ideas, no matter how bizarre and weird they sound, a propensity to wonder....But at the same time, science requires the most vigorous and uncompromising skepticism, because the vast majority of ideas are simply wrong, and the only way you can distinguish the right from the wrong, the wheat from the chaff, is by critical experiment and analysis."
—Carl Sagan, "Wonder and Skepticism," Skeptical Enquirer, Vol. 19, Iss. 1, Jan.-Feb. 1995
