Relativism, the quaint notion that there are many truths all equally deserving of respect, even if they contradict each other, is rife today. It sounds like a respectful gesture towards multiculturalism. Actually it’s a pretentious cop-out. There really is something special about scientific evidence. Science works. Planes fly, magic carpets and broomsticks don’t. Gravity is not a version of the truth. It is the truth. Anybody who doubts it is invited to jump out of a 10th floor window.
Richard Dawkins

As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls.
