Stories, not arguments or utility, give cohesion to the scientific enterprise; they anchor the abstractions of researchers in the human imagination, not only for the public but also for the scientists themselves. At least for a mass audience, the appeal of science may be due less to its rationality or utility than to the narratives it generates, filled with heroes such as Galileo and villains such as the Inquisition. -Boria Sax, Konrad Lorenz and the Mythology of Science
