The Way, The Truth, And The Light

I found the following quote from actor Stephen Mangan in a copy of yesterday’s Telegraph:

“Science. It is the way, the truth and the light. Not just for its beauty, its ability to deliver us from quacks and astrologers and homeopathy, its ability to illuminate the strange and wonderous place that it this universe, but also for being the gift of accumulated knowledge that mankind continues to hand down through the generations.”

I can’t say I’ve paid much attention to Mangan’s work as a comedy actor in the past, but this quote pretty much sums up the the way I feel about science, and does so in the most succinct and elegant manner.
