Scientists and their stories huh? All very well and good, but in 500 years will these ideas be superseded just like Newton was? Half the lies science tells you are not true. I find it hard to get excited by these sorts of stories that have little to do with how we live our life anyway. Is light a wave or a particle? Is time a river or movie that can be reminded? Um, who cares? What difference does it make? It's all socially constructed anyway, obviously.

Slim,
Einstein stood on the shoulders of Newton a science colossus. His stuff is still relevant.
CERN and quantum mechanics gave us this (JWN) global instant communications ability. Modernity will always exist; it understands things progressively. See it as clarity with current best practice.
jgnat,
You forgot Planck time. The smallest time measurement.

sbf, what got in your coffee this morning? I had a fool of a teacher who told us that the Northern Lights were reflections of sunlight off the oceans. Even then I knew he was dead wrong. Asking questions and finding new answers is the essence of discovery.
"Merian [Sibylla Merian] described the life cycles of 186 insect species, amassing evidence that contradicted the contemporary notion that insects were 'born of mud' by spontaneous generation." - Wikipedia

Go to the Perry thread then SBF - maybe the idea of dinosaurs being a few thousand years old appeals to you, or how about just find a cave and ignore the scientific advances that have made all our lives better.

What are the northern lights? Are they gods fighting in the sky? It seems as good an explanation as any! Certainly more poetic than the current scientist theory about ions or whatever it is anyhow.

Cantleave don't need to insult me. I am no Creationist. They are just as bad as scientismists. In fact they are scientists. A plague on all their stale and unimaginative houses.

I read A Breif History of Time once. That was enough to put me off scientistic cosmology for life. By the end of it I couldn't care less if scientists ever came up with a unified theory of everthything or whatever you call it. BORING man!
On the other hand I quite liked The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins. It reads more like a good story. He even has drawings of little computer generated stick creatures he made to go with the story. Characters to go with the narrative.
