Quote: Ashley Montague on Certainty and Proof

"Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof."

- Ashley Montague, British anthropologist and humanist (1905-1999)


How does this quote malign the minority? If anything it illustrates the duality of mankind. How can you have an objective truth (or proof, if you please) without certainty? The reverse is also true: how can you have certainty without proof?
