1.
Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he's destroying is this God he's worshipping.
Hubert Reeves

'Humankind is the craziest kind. He venerates an intangible Divinity and demolishes a perceptible Nature. Unmindful that this Nature he's ravaging is this Divinity he's revering.'
2.
We must nevertheless present all possible interpretations for each observation, so that competing theories can be formulated and defended. In science, as elsewhere, intellectual inertia, the fashions of the moment, the weight of institutions, and authoritarianism are always to be feared. Heresies play an essential role by keeping our minds argumentative and alert.
Hubert Reeves

3.
The Human is the most insane species
