Summary

This quote suggests that the dominance of science in the field of knowledge is the reason why evolutionary biologists do not emphasize the question of whether the theory of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin is true or not. It implies that scientists base their work on empirical evidence and the scientific method, rather than seeking ultimate truth, since science has established a sense of authority in determining what is considered valid and reliable knowledge.

Ever since the dawn of civilization, people have not been content to see events as unconnected and inexplicable. They have craved an understanding of the underlying order in the world. Today we still yearn to know why we are here and where we came from. Humanity's deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for our continuing quest. And our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in.
