Re: Science is close-minded

It's not out of line. It is interesting to think about such things, but without a way to test for "purpose", it is outside the realm of science.
If it is outside the realm of science, then I think that is because physics theory has artificially tightly restricted what is the realm of science. in other words, if all that can be tested is whether or not an object follows a certain pattern in its movement, then we have no chance of testing for purpose. Beyond this artificial restriction, it is not unscientific to recognize that the purpose of DNA is to build intelligent life.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
