I've been lucky to meet few people who felt that scientific knowledge sucked the wonder out of the world, but I hear they are common. I have a hard time understanding that point of view. When I see the crescent moon in the night sky I imagine us in the context of the universe: the planets around the sun, the moon around the Earth, the stars and galaxies beyond. When I walk through a forest, with the knowledge that everything I see is the product of billions of years of evolution, I see a tapestry of immense depth and history.
