A quote attributed to Carl Sagan is being shared widely: 'Evidence moves knowledge forward, faith protects old errors.' The line, tagged with religion and science, is being discussed in the context of the long-running debate between scientific inquiry and religious belief. Commenters are weighing in on whether the comparison is fair, with Sagan's critiques of pseudoscience and religion remaining a recurring flashpoint online.
Why now: Sagan's sharp framing of the science-versus-faith debate continues to spark argument among users interested in secularism and rationalism
