I too am Scientifically mindedbut I still think Science is over revered; it's just guesswork proved right.

only slightlyI'm reading The Mysterious Universe by Sir James Jeans atm - it's an astronomy book written in the 30s - it's full of incorrectness written with the utmost confidence... it's also beautifully written:
"Everything that has been said, and every conclusion that has been tentatively put forward, is quite frankly speculative and uncertain. We have tried to discuss whether present-day science has anything to say on certain difficult questions, which are perhaps set for ever beyond the reach of human understanding. We cannot claim to have discerned more than a very faint glimmer of light at the best; perhaps it was wholly illusory, for certainly we had to strain our eyes very hard to see anything at all. So that our main contention can hardly be that the science of to-day has a pronouncement to make, perhaps it ought rather to be that science should leave off making pronouncements: the river of knowledge has too often turned back on itself."
