Our Understanding of the Universe

I disagree with Hume's attitude towards human curiosity. How can a desire to gain knowledge be wrong? Curiosity is simply a part of human nature. We were given a higher intellect for a reason and I refuse to believe that we are meant to sit idly by without so much as gazing through a telescope. The greatest scientific discoveries were achieved through human curiosity. Everything from modern medicine to even something as simple as being able to effectively use fire have been made possible, because of the human thirst for knowledge.

I commented on Daniel's.
