"But the universe doesn't care what we can or cannot believe. It doesn't speak our language, so there's no reason it should 'make sense.'

"That's why science depends on evidence."

-- K.C. Cole, "Weird Science: Why editors must dare to be dumb", Columbia Journalism Review, July/August 2006 (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] tdj for pointing it out)
