It Devours! (Welcome to Night Vale, #2)

by Joseph Fink

“Here we believe. We believe in each other, and in our community. Ours is a way of trust, of loving honesty. In science, they are taught the opposite. They are taught to doubt. Every aspect of the world, a scientist must doubt it, and test it over and over, and even then they must doubt what they’ve learned. Each thought that enters their head, they must try to disprove. Can you imagine the distrust that creates? How can there be an honest community when the entire structure of their thought is based on disbelieving the inherent truth of everything they hear?”

“So your religion has created a problem, and now you want science to fix it?”

They did what all scientists do when following proper scientific method: (1) hypothesis; (2) argument; (3) fight; (4) cry; (5) hug.
