“We often reject evidence that contradicts our core beliefs because of discomfort and the fear of change; we fear acknowledging our agreement in these contradictions, sometimes for a lifetime, because new evidence would crumble the foundations we once stood upon as absolute. We face these contradictions every day, and every day we dismiss them to the wind.”
