 Asimov on Believing Fantastic Things

I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be.

Very similar to Sagan's "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
