In fact, my Doctor of Philosophy is in one of the "hard" sciences.<BR/><BR/>I just get squeamish whenever I see scientific truth being hailed as the only truth. Science can only study truths which are provable by the scientific method. It is an important slice of the Truth pie, but it is not the whole pie.<BR/><BR/>I actually don't know much about your background, so perhaps you disagree. The chum that brought me in to your blog was actually your Zotero+Dropbox post.
