A quote I ran across today while doing research:


If modern science is a religion, then one of its presiding deities must be Sherlock
Holmes. To the modern scientist as to the great detective, every mystery is a problem,
and every problem can be solved. A mystery can exist only because of human
ignorance, and human ignorance is always remediable. (Wendell Berry 2001, 27)
