I have found throughout the years that my beliefs strongly affect my actions. I believe that most other drivers on the road will pay attention to the center line painted on the road and will stay on their side of it. I also believe that there are idiots among us, so I keep a sharp eye on the oncoming traffic just in case. Because our beliefs have such an impact on our behavior it is important that we examine our beliefs rather than simply accept what we have been taught or what our culture tells us to believe. The search for truth can't be a part time hobby.
The man I am quoting here, Thomas Huxley, was an English biologist and anthropologist who lived from 1825 to 1895. He was brilliant in his primary area of comparative anatomy. However, I believe that his greatest legacy was his constant work to advance scientific education.
