Tom, I think the idea behind the TedTalk is that too many people put faith in science like it is some sort of religion. I liked the way he uses the scientific method to question blind devotion to scientific theories that sometimes have not even been proven.
Doc, I think that is best constant for weight I have ever heard. I want to weigh everything in "Turtles" now.
That's a lot from just a 22 page short story.
Perhaps looking at science and faith as the how and why, both could be a part of the same truth without conflict?As I work with churches and try to help them understand the different world we live in, we talk about the "good" of the enlightenment - scientific method/ life saving drugs etc. but, also the cost - "If science is "TRUTH" then faith must be opinion or even sillyness.

I've noticed that over the past decade as our society has tended to politicize everything in our lives that it has led to certain theories being promoted as fact and opinions given as facts.
Belief is still just that.
And consensus is not science either.
Cogito, ergo sum!
But, can anyone really *know* anything?
I know I like Oreos and milk!
