I did apprehend this in a vague sort of way but since I thought that all religious beliefs were without foundation, I used the word the way I myself thought about it, not as most of the world does, and simply applied it to a grand hypothesis that, however plausible, had little direct experimental support."
Eu comprendía isto dunha maneira vaga, pero como eu pensaba que todas as crenzas relixiosas non tiñan fundamento, usei a palabra na forma en que eu a entendía, e non como o resto do mundo o facía, e simplemente a apliquei a unha grande hipótese que, aínda que plausible, tiña pouco apoio experimental directo."
