In his lecture on reductionism, Robert Sapolsky begins his teachings by providing a brief history of the dark ages in Europe. He goes on to explain how the dark ages came to an end and the influential power of rediscovering philosophy and logic on European schools of thought. He mentions a famous quote from Thomas Aquinas, that entails three rules for God. The third rule is particularly important as it implies that in case of opposition between science and knowledge, science wins.
