Who's responsible?



 
 
 
We can't claim to fully understand what science is until we know what it 
is not. The science/pseudoscience interface can help us understand both 
the strengths and the self-imposed constraints of science. Science is a 
self-correcting process, continually weeding out errors of 
thought and errors of methodology, thereby narrowing the region where 
truth may reside. While science claims no absolute truths, it has 
accumulated a larger body of reliable and testable understanding of 
nature than any other method of human inquiry. 

The human imagination is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, we have the 
ability to imagine many things that just aren't so. The universe has 
no obligation to behave as we'd like, or even to be understandable to 
our minds.






Here's logos and links to a few of the web sites that have 
recognized my site as worthy
for some reason or another. Since they have shown such good
judgment and fine taste, you might wish to look at their
sites. Unfortunately this site has outlasted some of these.
