Science and Arts

"Finding out the way the world really works requires a mix of hunches, intuition, and brilliant creativity; it also requires skeptical scrutiny of every step. It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science."

- Carl Sagan, “Night Walkers and Mystery Mongers: Sense and Nonsense at the Edge of Science”

Skeptical Inquirer Volume 10.3, Spring 1986
