Nice article. I'm going to print it out and have my son read it. Science works best when we are thoughtful and critical and scrutinize claims carefully. Science is only as good as those people doing the science. And as a counterpoint, the flip side of this is that there are people very, very good at convincing you that something isn't science, or doesn't have any value, or is psuedo-science. And these people have credentials too. Marc My website

The fact that science has been spectacularly successful in generating new knowledge whereas every other tradition has stagnated is not because science has been lucky in attracting talented knowledge seekers, whereas other traditions have been unlucky. The greater success is because of the superiority of the scientific method. John Carson "The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin
