Summary

This quote suggests that when a theologian strongly believes something to be true, it is likely to be false. It states that the intensity of conviction in theological matters can serve as a measure of falsehood rather than truth. This perspective challenges the notion that pure faith and strong religious convictions are reliable indicators of truth, implying that unquestioning beliefs in theological matters are potentially misguided. The quote implies that skepticism and critical thinking should be applied even in matters of religion and theology.

A treatment method or an educational method that will work for one child may not work for another child. The one common denominator for all of the young children is that early intervention does work, and it seems to improve the prognosis.

It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.
