At some point "science" declared the atom as being the smallest unit of matter. At that time, to those scientists' minds, it was true--and they certainly could "demonstrate" this. Later emerged the scientific "certainty" of the smallest subatomic particles . . .and in due time, even smaller particles will be "discovered"--hailed by science as THE smallest units of matter . . . ad infinitum . What scientific "truth" about the nature of the cosmos which was held 50 years ago could stand the scrutiny of our current scientific "knowledge"? The history of science is replete with these kinds of examples, and I invite you to name a single scientific "truth" which has not been revised over time. Yet in fact shouldn't such "truths", by definition, be timeless? So Pops, what does science really know? Is your "science" eternally definitive or defined only temporally by the quality and sophistication of the technology employed? It seems to me your confidence in science as being man's savior is a very slippery slope. (Kinda like faith huh?) Rick
