Deamon Haunted World

The title of this blog is taken from work of Carl Sagan - Demon-Haunted World. Sagan needs no introduction, being one of the foremost authors on popular science. The book aims at analyzing popular beliefs through history and cultures and get a scentific hold on many of them. I dare not say if he is right or wrong, or the premise that there is nothing except brute reasoning to everything. However, I have observed that even in the age we live in, we have not been able to develop an intrinsic ability to observe things with scientific temper. Most of us tend to be influenced by emotions and rhetoric, surrendering our ability to reason and argue. Our faith in a debate of reason and logic is the ultimate casualty. This I say due to sudden spurt of clash of nation in our present geo political environment and not just between nations within nations even in our city and community.

Are we missing something….somewhere ?
