curiouser & curiouser, fuzxzier and fuzzier.......

Science is like a hand-held torch in the dark. When you focus it on the

ground in front of you, it does an excellent job of showing the way. If

you hear a noise around you and you bring it up to head level, you can

only focus on one bit at a time and you get a fuzzy picture of

what's `out there'. When you hold it up to the sky, it is absolutely

useless in illuminating anything. So science when it is directed at the

materially observable is a precise and sharp tool for discovering

truth. When you hold it at the level of human interaction (psychology,

sociology, anthropology etc.) it gets pretty fuzzy. When you aim it in

the direction of God (the realm of the unseen) you get precisely zip!
