“If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. ” Bertrand Russell
“如果向一個人提供的事實，違背了他的天性，他會密切審議，除非證據是壓倒性的，他將拒絕相信。另一方麵，如果向他提供的東西給與根據自己直覺行事的原因，他會接受它，哪怕隻有微小的證據。神話的起源的解釋是這樣的。 羅素
