Sean Faircloth and Dr. Elisabeth Cornwell of the Richard Dawkins Foundation precede Richard Dawkins himself at the Reason Rally in Washington, D.C. March 24th 2012.

The other day we posted a quote from the speech given by Mythbuster Adam Savage at last Saturday’s Reason Rally. Today we’ve got the entire speech for you to listen to.

Enjoy.

“Everything that we have that makes our lives possible exists because human beings have tested the things they’ve found in their surroundings, made predictions based on those tests, and then improved upon them. This is reason: The human capacity to make sense of the world.”

A quote from the end of  a speech given at Reason Rally by  Mythbuster Adam Savage. Iam  still amazed me, but sadly fails to surprise me to so few people ever come to this conclusion on their own.

I have concluded through careful empirical analysis and much thought that somebody is looking out for me, keeping track of what I think about things, forgiving me when I do less than I ought. Giving me strength to shoot for more than I think I’m capable of. I believe they know everything that I do and think, and they still love me, and I’ve concluded, after careful consideration, that this person keeping score is me.
