"And they are the subjects I love. Always did. Science is great, but it doesn't talk to me about many of the things I most care about, and I don't expect it to. That's not the job of science."


          There seems to be a growing pool of academics who profess to be able to apply the "scientific method" to prove anything. All of the recent scientific developments feed their energy, and they seem to think, over time, anything can be explained.

          The problem they seem to have is, they start out with a concept they want to prove, and then take all the evidence that proves it, and discard anything that does not. In much the same way that the Bush administration proved the necessity of invading Iraq.
