69. One need not idolize science in order to appreciate its accomplishments.
It has indeed proven to be a most effective tool in discovery of useful information. But will I let science decide how I should make every decision in my life? I am afraid not, as there are things in life that science has proven itself useless in either demonstrating or disproving.

The problem for me arises when scientists (not all, please note) decide that THEY have the TRUTH...and that ONLY they have the ONLY truth, even if they have not bothered to look to see if there might be other truths.
