I think I should leave all the speaking from 'this side' to Mr. Gray, because he says it much better than I could (but it's sooooooo tempting to get my two penneth in :-)
You have both said something which hits home with me. There are extreme scientists and extreme non-scientists (the New Agers I usually bash all the time), but they aren't the only ones.
What you have to remember about scientific advancement is that it comes from observation and speculation. Scientists have to come with some pretty far fetched theories sometimes before finding the reasons behind something.
