Carl Sagan
“If we teach only the findings and products of science – no matter how useful and even inspiring they may be – without communicating its critical method, how can the average person possibly distinguish science from pseudoscience?”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Carl Sagan
“Una de las lecciones más tristes de la historia es ésta: si se está sometido a un engaño demasiado tiempo, se tiende a rechazar cualquier prueba de que es un engaño.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
