In just two quotes:
“Bishop Colenso, in his attempts to convert the Zulus to Christianity, translated the Bible into the Zulu language. They read the Bible with interest, but when they read that the hare is a ruminant, they told the bishop that this was not true. Colenso was a bookworm, unfamiliar with the habits of hares. At the Zulus’ insistence, he observed hares and understood that they were right. All this made him doubt the Bible, and as a result the church authorities deprived him of his salary.”
“The Art of Philosophizing”, Bertrand Russell
“There is another, much more dangerous kind of temptation. Its name is the vice of curiosity. It is what moves us to try to unravel the secrets of nature that are inaccessible to our understanding and unnecessary to us, knowledge of which a human being should not desire.”
Saint Augustine
