Oh, no I meant definition one. Want to buy an Einstein fetish? I also have the ever popular Newton ones. The Watson and Crick idols aren't selling well.

This discussion began over whether agnosticism was validated or dictated by science: I'd argue that good science dictates agnosticism Message 20951043 I figure this has been resolved in the negative as the original proponent of agnosticism has for some time been listing the names of deists and believers in unorthodox views of God as being equivalents to agnostics. This is incorrect, of course. Deists and any others who accept the existence of a God are not, by definition, agnostics. Now the discussion has moved on to scientist's supposed "godlike powers" and the reverential attitude lesser mortals should have toward them. This reverential attitude toward the persons of science is obviously offbase as science works or achieves things by virtue of the scientific method, not because the persons involved have godlike powers.
