“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
“如果向一个人提供的事实，违背了他的天性，他会密切审议，除非证据是压倒性的，他将拒绝相信。另一方面，如果向他提供的东西給與根据自己直觉行事的原因，他会接受它，哪怕只有微小的证据。神话的起源的解释是这样的。 罗素
