.... That is the great unfathomable question, the same for every one of us. Science has no answer to it.
It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.
Anybody who has been seriously engaged is scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.'
Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve. "
that Max?
or was it the Max that said, "Two days ago, I saw a vehicle that can haul that tanker. You want to get out of here? You talk to me."
I like that, very relevant to the whole thread
Thanks Hillbill. They won't let me use the LHC yet, so I have my own sub-atomic particle detector and just have to be patient. I use mine to observe ghosts, of a sort. A topic for the Tracking section of the forum perhaps.
I would much rather write about tracking but this notion that science is void of spirit and vice versa, is a load of shipt. Both sides. I know for certain that alot of people are missing out on some very interesting things is this world. I know I'm missing out too, simply because of my prejudgements, true or otherwise. "Science" and "Spirituality", dirty words to people that know little of either (I'm certainly not addressing you in particular HillBill, just a minor rant in general
). Like giving "bushcraft" a definition; it's limiting and pointless or rather, beside the point.
Nature is my *

Another smart guy I know (I only know
of Albert and Niels to be honest
)wrote me this the other day,
Science and Religion are brothers that had a falling out and still avoid eye contact at family reunions!
BTW, anyone that can figure out
exactly how Gravity fits into that Taoist symbol shown earlier, send me a PM and we'll split the Prize money. If that mystery is ever solved, my money (not much of it exists, ha!) says ten new, bigger riddles emerge.

Other topics seem to keep bleeding into this thread (pun intended). I am guilty of this for sure and so, I'm out. Some of the posts on this thread I find incredibly lame and impersonal and I am sorry to have contributed to that in any way. I will say that any person who has spent a few nights alone in the wilds and can Not recall a moment of fear; blue, black, imagined or otherwise, that person is either lacking in memory or a big fat liar. I suppose that person could also be an ignorant fool. "No Fear" is for imbiciles. Know Fear to understand personal bravery and just how it is that the mind can *
