Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.” “Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.

Sagan stipulates that these argue in the face of scientific evidence. Some of these popular pseudo scientific beliefs range from the legend of Atlantis to Transcendental Meditation, Soviet communism to Biblical literalism. A paean to knowledge and clear thought, Carl Sagan's 'The Demon-Haunted World' is a spirited defense of science and the scientific method against all comers. Sagan catalogues some of the many forms of pseudoscience that masquerade as New Age enlightenment, old time religion, and simple dogma.
