While I appreciate and largely agree with your basic premise, I think that "Science" has not let us down--WE have let us down. Was Sophia (Gr. Wisdom) stupid to not bow down before the temporal (megalomaniacal) Hadrian? Were the deaths of Pistis, Elpis, and Agape (Faith, Hope, & Love) stupid martyrdom? I think not. This account stands as a lesson to us all. Hadrian was a "part" of the whole. His error was that he perceived himself as a god--as representative of the entirety of creation. Herein, methinks, is the key: Only when we worship "Science" (L. scientia - knowledge) as a god can Science let us down. It is imperative, as I know you also believe, that we seek awareness and enlightenment to our own purpose and satisfaction. Thank you again for a wonderfully challenging post. Cheers, Bruce
