Relativism

“Relativism, the quaint notion that there are many truths all equally deserving a respect even if they contradict each other, is rife today. It sounds like a respectful gesture towards multiculturalism. Actually is a pretentious cop-out.
There really is something special about scientific evidence. Science works: planes fly, magic carpets and broomsticks don’t. Gravity is not a version of the truth, it is the truth. Anybody who doubts it, is invited to jump out of a tenth floor window.”

Richard Dawkins
