2. "Fish will be the last to discover water." (Einstein)
Edited on Thu Sep-29-05 08:16 AM by TahitiNut
Science is, itself, based on faith.
Huh? :wtf:

Science "discovered" Integrity in the Universe. Gravity (whatever that is), for example, seems to behave the same way today as it did in Galileo's time. Gravity (whatever that is) seems to behave the same way on the moon as on the earth. Indeed, it seems to behave the same way all over the Universe. We see a behavior and induce a Principle. We've noticed that behavior can be reliably predicted and described by a sufficiently well-defined Principle. Without the underlying assumption that the Universe has Integrity (behavior that's 100% consistent with a Principle, everywhere and everywhen), Science has no foundation.

Why is that?


in·teg·ri·ty n.
Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.
