The column argues that even noted scientists and freethinkers hold religious or spiritual beliefs. It cites Hume Newton and Maimonides, and notes Rousseau and Franklin as examples of thinkers whose views mingle science with faith. It criticizes modern scientists who deny metaphysical aspects and urges cold, careful reasoning over egotism.
