Misunderstanding Science

"What we have in Hoffman’s essay is just a science-hater trying to argue that science isn’t the best way to approach solving environmental problems. Of course we need to take into account people’s emotions and subjective judgments, as well as subjective ethics (I believe all ethics is subjective, based on non-objective preferences); but what Hoffman offers is simply genuflecting toward religion and the Great Mysteries That We Can’t Fathom."

A reputable professor uses The God of the Gaps argument.

  1. It is not a mystery ... that we don't know crappola.... but it is a lot more than a religious twat.

  2. Yes, it is troublesome when one reads something from a supposed educated person that reveals a profound lack of understanding of science. Thanks for the comment.
