Re: In defence of science

Agreed FW, but the big problem is the method of observation. Looking for 'reasons' is not as holistic as observing a process. It's the dialectical relationship of a process within the framework of existence which is lacking, and it's that crucial (and not easy) difference between rationalising and understanding. It's not a toss up between looking for a reason or observing a process, it's the two parts that give a bigger picture. Science is irresponsible without the bigger picture, and ironically more handtied because of it. Looking at external interacions as well as dynamics. Like seeing a 'bird flying' is different to seeing 'flying', the process, the interaction.

There's that's a whole 10p!

Ride on indeed :-)
