And what is science?

As practiced by humanity, precious little difference between that and religion! See my other comment :-)

I should add to that, science is supposedly the rational observation and study of "what is", but in reality in medicine (and certainly it seems true of American medical research) it appears largely to be the collection of "facts" that re-inforce the financial interests of big pharma. (And the suppression of "inconvenient" facts that don't.)

And the same appears to be true of many other areas of big business, too :-(

Cheers,
Wol
