I remember a quote uttered by Douglas Adams, probably because Richard Dawkins repeats it more than once in three books of his I read, where he basically asks why a garden can't still be beautiful without one having to believe there are faeries present in it, too. But to ask why it can't STILL be beautiful seemed to carry the undertone that there's something lost, that it isn't AS beautiful, though that's not to say it still isn't very grand, just that seeing life through a clearer lens means that you're sacrificing a grandness that only belief in the faeries can utter.
Does anyone know of any good articles or books where someone not only argues persuasively that life can still be beautiful without believing faeries inhabit it, but also that it can be just as beautiful if not even MORE so?

If The Infinity Program were not a forum, it would be a pie-in-the-sky project.
