Tudomány, illúziók és csodák

S ha a természettudományok haladásokat azon rendszernek köszönik, melyet, mert elménk természetéből fejlődik, nem egyes ember talált fel, de melyet Bacon nevével összekötünk, úgy ezen rendszer azt, hogy a tudományok körében általjánossá válik, éppen a természettudományok haladásának, s azon általjános érdeknek fogja köszönni, mellyel e tudományok napjainkban míveltetnek.

And when they encounter something that's *really* inexplicable, like consciousness, why, such a mystery has never happened before, it is wholly unlike such non-mysterious things as stars and life forms. Surely if there were a mundane explanation we would have found it already. As if stars and life forms had not been great mysteries for millennia on end, until one day someone solved them, and then they were not mysteries any more.
