It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant"

Yes, indeed. Reason is the tool wielded by great intellects such as Einstein, to guide us to what is real and to what works. Reason is our source for REALITY.

For instance, thanks to reason, we no longer believe that superstitious nonsense will cure leprosy! Now go sprinkle yourself 7 times and rub a little blood on your left ear and your big toe!

Leviticus 14:49-53King James Version (KJV)

49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
