Chet Raymo (born September 17, 1936, in Chattanooga, Tennessee) is a noted writer, educator and naturalist.
His weekly newspaper column "Science Musings" appeared in the Boston Globe for twenty years.
Raymo is also the author of Walking Zero, a scientific and historical account of his wanderings along the Prime Meridian in Great Britain.
Raymo espouses a scientific skepticism for his beliefs: For the Religious Naturalist, darkness and silence are not the paradox, they are the resolution.
We try to stay firmly on the side of skepticism, open to whatever winds of wisdom blow our way, and as for knowledge of the world, we cherish the scientific way of knowing—tentative, partial, evolving.
