Geez, who needs scientists? Any dick (yes that one...) can make a pile of stem cells by just fucking around....morally and ethically that intention is only fun based for the most part. On the other hand, the consequences and the implications are altogether something else.

Science > religion because science has predictive power. To ignore that is irrational. But then again... humans ARE irrational.

i don't follow the logic... is that the same as saying:

nostradamus > einstein because nostradamus had predictive power and to ignore that is irrational?

perhaps better stated as "science > religion because science has predictive power while religion has only predictive pretensions"

BTW, this is analgous to the einstein/nostradamus comparison, since Einstein's theories did in fact have predictive power, while the quatrains of Nostradamus require, to 'prove' their predictive pretensions the same kind of contorted analysis to which religious texts are often subjected.

maybe you missed my point, but i still don't follow the logic... gwnn got it, i believe

Helene, do you know the Nostradamus song by Hans Teeuwen?
