Summary

This quote highlights that the truthfulness of a statement or proposition is independent of its credibility or believability. A statement may be true even if it is not widely recognized or accepted, while a statement can be highly credible but still false. This emphasizes the importance of assessing and verifying information based on evidence and logical reasoning rather than solely relying on perceived credibility. It urges individuals to critically evaluate claims and seek reliable sources of information rather than blindly accepting or dismissing them based on their credibility alone.

I have long felt that there was a general impression in the non-scientific world, that the scientific world believes Science has discovered ways of explaining all the facts of Nature without adopting any definite belief in a Creator.
