Perhaps truth doesn't leave a slime in its wake?

If Mr Shaw, who can speak for himself, sounds evangelical, I reckon it may be that he is fed up of people speaking of superstition as if it is a form of scientific discovery. If it were, you would find that each scientific discovery puts it further from reality and more into the metaphor that many more rational people are comfortable with, and on that basis call themselves religious.

But of course, that would discriminate against the slightly unhinged brethren, and so it goes....
