Thought for Today (Via Wordsmith):
The most important scientific revolutions all include, as their only common feature, the dethronement of human arrogance from one pedestal after another of previous convictions about our centrality in the cosmos. -Stephen Jay Gould, paleontologist, biologist, author (10 Sep 1941-2002)
A very fine thought for today from Stephen Jay Gould.
Carl Sagan often said very much the same thing.
Any true scientist admits as much eventually.
