QOTDBut I went to college, and a little graduate school. I studied the arts and sciences, which are what I believe in today, every damn one of them. Even, say, dance, which I don’t know or care anything about—I believe in it anyway. Physics, who knows what’s going on there, but I figure those who do are keeping each other honest. There may even be people who can be helpful with regard to string theory in something like the same way that Baptist man may be as regards glossolalia. Different fundamentalisms for different folks. Let go and let science. TechnoratiWho's onlineThere are currently 27 users and 248 guests online.
