While I agree with your posting in general, I think it's worth noting that the reasons why people believe scientific theories are strictly irrelevant to their truth. Physics and biology do not stand or fall on the questions of whether Newton was a nut and Mendel a fraudster. -- John Cowan jcowan@reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan www.reutershealth.com "If he has seen farther than others, it is because he is standing on a stack of dwarves." --Mike Champion, describing Tim Berners-Lee (adapted)
