The Problem with Science

"That's the problem with science. You've got a bunch of empiricists trying to describe things of unimaginable wonder."
- Calvin (Hobbes' friend)

The vastness of the galaxies and the intricacies of the atom are worthy of poetry, not just numbers. They point us to the greatness of our Creator!

Name one great scientist who is not emotionally moved by his work.

You are right, as far as I know the GREAT ones were all moved by their work.

Unfortunately today too many "scientists" are just pragmatists who are more interested in government grant money than in the beauty of the universe's complexity!
