Theodoric, of course science has value to me. I wouldn't have this computer to sit at without science, and I wouldn't have the lesure time. And I just drank a glass of water from my tap that was disinfected.
It's just that pesky TOE. That and maybe the big bang.
So, what you're saying is, science is a great thing that can suss out the answers to questions we might not even have the ability to ask yet, but when those answers happen to go against a belief you've chosen, science suddenly stops working so well and must be wrong?
To keep this nominally on topic...what's the probability that science, with its strong track record of finding out truths, is wrong and you, with all your human fallibility, is right?
