A review by kevin_shepherd
Religion and Science by Bertrand Russell

5.0

“Is there not something a trifle absurd in the spectacle of human beings holding a mirror before themselves and thinking what they behold so excellent as to prove that a cosmic purpose must have been aiming at it all along?”

It is clear that Bertrand Russell saw science as a stand-alone exercise in observation and religion as a manipulative enterprise buttressed by stifling authority. Thank you my beloved Captain Obvious.
