About this Quote

This quote by Kenneth L. Pike suggests that in order to have purposeful discussions concerning science or faith, we have to approve that there are some truths that can be discovered within the context of regular discussion. This indicates that we need to be open to the opportunity that the discussions we have can result in purposeful verdicts and that we need to want to accept the fact when it exists to us. Pike's quote motivates us to be unbiased as well as to be happy to approve the truth when it is presented to us, also if it is not what we at first expected. This quote additionally urges us to be ready to engage in significant discussions and to be happy to listen to the point of views of others. By doing so, we can gain a much better understanding of the topics we are discussing as well as can pertain to more significant final thoughts.
