“What lies beneath”

It turns out that what we know through science may be only a tiny fragment of what we don’t know:

One reader of my blog — a rigidly dogmatic and very vocal atheist — thinks that I post such things as this (and this) as part of a campaign against science, which, oddly, he seems to regard as an inherently atheistic enterprise that competes directly with religious faith.

He’s wrong.

On several counts.

Regarding one of those counts, I post such things because I find them interesting.  But also because I think a little humility is appropriate, and because I object deeply to any tendency to idolize the valuable, extraordinarily useful and productive, but still quite human enterprise of science.  In a word, while I value science and scientists enormously, I reject scientism.
