For him it would be considered rational to believe. After all, all we can determine about the cosmos is based on what we perceive. For others to believe in another man's delusions is cerainly not rational.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
