I was just browsing Facebook and I came across this comment. I have no
idea who this person is. The comment read, "Ever since this pandemic
began I have been following the official advice and have stayed home.
Now I just found out that this virus is highly contagious. If it is
highly contagious then how much good has it done for me to stay home for
all this time?" Uh, did that make the least bit of sense to any of you?

“It's natural to think that living things must be the handiwork of a designer.
But it was also natural to think that the sun went around the earth. Overcoming
naive impressions to figure out how things really work is one of humanity's
highest callings.
