Quote by George Carlin
It turned out I was pretty good in science. But again, because of the small budget, in science class we couldn't afford to do experiments in order to prove theories. We just believed everything. Actually, I think that class was called Religion. Religion class was always an easy class. All you had to do was suspend the logic and reasoning you were being taught in all the other classes.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker reflects on their experience with science education. Despite discovering their aptitude for science, the limited budget of their school means they were unable to conduct experiments to solidify their understanding of scientific principles. Instead, the speaker suggests that the class where they were expected to accept beliefs without questioning or evidence was called "Religion." They imply that religion class required suspending the logic and reasoning taught in other subjects, highlighting a perceived contrast in the approach to knowledge between science and religion.
