Quote by Rupert Sheldrake
Bad religion is arrogant, self-righteous, dogmatic and intolerant. And so is bad science. But unlike religious fundamentalists, scientific fundamentalists do not realize that their opinions are based on faith. They think they know the truth.
Summary
This quote suggests that both bad religion and bad science exhibit similar negative characteristics such as arrogance, self-righteousness, dogmatism, and intolerance. However, it highlights a distinction between religious fundamentalists and scientific fundamentalists. While religious fundamentalists may recognize their beliefs as faith-based, scientific fundamentalists often do not realize that their staunch opinions are also rooted in faith, assuming they possess absolute knowledge and the ultimate truth. The quote implies that both groups should approach their convictions with humility and acknowledge the potential for fallibility in their positions.
