It would be absurd to maintain one’s own age of the world is beyond correction by the next age.
He who acknowledges the imperfections of his instrument, and makes allowance for it in discussing observations, is in a much better position for gaining truth then if he claimed his instrument to be infallible.
“If we claim only reasonable probability, it will be as much as men who love the truth can ever at any given moment hope to have within their grasp. Pretty surely it will be more than we could have had, if we were unconscious of our liability to err.”
William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience
