It is my claim that science does not claim to be infallible, as someone else pointed out earlier in this forum. Frederick has answered his own questions in referring to the misuse of science. Yes, science can also be misused for destructive purposes such as in the case of the atom bomb and the firearm, just as journalism, networking and charitable services can be used to propagate lies and hatred, and hatch conspiracies and terrorist plots. > > What is "objective observational evidence"?

It is horribly misspelled. Please ask anybody who can read in Devanagri anywhere in the world. It sounds like Fraraydaraky Noronya. Is that how you pronounce it in your Konknni or Portuguese? This is a test of the objectivity of observational evidence. So please ask other people around the world who can read and write in Devanagri script to read your name in Gmail, and tell me what they say. Cheers, Santosh
