The following is an excerpt from the chapter:

All scientific and religious belief is founded on perceptions of what is real, both organic and inorganic, and how we relate to it. History is full of misconceptions about the origins of the Earth and its position in the universe, natural forces and the evolution of the species. If for thousands of years our ancestors were foolish for accepting religious views based on nothing more than literal translations of ancient manuscripts, will we be considered any less foolish for believing scientific theories subject to change every hundred years or so? Eventually even the most complete theory gives way to another having a stronger basis in fact. But when a theory redefines fact from “something that actually exists” to “the most probable of all outcomes” we must accept that what we believe to be "real" or "the truth" is dependant on our expectations.
