“When scientifically investigating the natural world, the only thing worse than a blind believer is a seeing denier.”
— Neil deGrasse Tyson

Simplified Meaning:
When we study and try to understand nature, refusing to accept what you can clearly see is worse than believing in something without evidence. Imagine a person who sees strong evidence that the climate is changing because of human activity but says it's not true; this denial is more harmful than someone who believes myths without proof. Denying what we can observe with our own eyes stops us from finding real solutions to big problems. For example, a scientist ignoring clear data about a disease's spread stops us from curing it. It's important to trust reliable evidence so we can make good decisions and improve our world.
