Summary

This quote suggests that while science is instrumental in providing evidence and validating theories, intuition plays a crucial role in making new discoveries. Science relies on observation, experimentation, and logical reasoning to establish truths based on evidence. However, intuition, often seen as a gut feeling or a deep understanding, helps to tap into innovative ideas and uncover new knowledge that may not always fit within the boundaries of traditional scientific methods. It implies that both evidence-based reasoning and intuitive insights are valuable tools in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding.

Science can be introduced to children well or poorly. If poorly, children can be turned away from science; they can develop a lifelong antipathy; they will be in a far worse condition than if they had never been introduced to science at all.
