Commentary: Sing the Phenomenauts:
"Science is the search for truth,I counter that there is a distinction 'twixt "facts" & "truth," succinctly stated by Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones Junior:
It only find facts, it has no agenda…"
"Archaeology is the search for fact—not truth. If it's truth you're interested in, Dr. Tyree's philosophy class is right down the hall."Of course, in large part the Phenomenauts are singing not of science, the method of study involving observation & experimentation, but "science," the quasi-religious philosophy expounded by many who are paradoxically possessed of a curious disdain for the scientific method, preferring militant orthodoxy to the objective search for fact.
That said, I still like "Science and Honor," lest it would not have been selected as the R.B.D.S.O.T.D.
"Honor is integrity,
Fairness and honesty in beliefs and action…"
