http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22105898 IMO a great article on science, though a bit lengthy for some. |

"The scientific revolution wasn't an extension in erudition. It involved instead what we might call a second-order attitude to erudition - and if that sounds fancy, it just means the human practice of calling bull on an idea which you think is full of it, and being unafraid to do so." Reminds me of a certain argument I had with a certain forumite.

It's a great story indeed. Especially the way the good scientist knows not to use science and the supernatural as explanations of each other. If only somebody could beat that lesson into mister Dawkins eh? |
