Well, let's not put science on a golden pedestal. Ben Stein was talking about
uncontrolled, amoral, unethical, and immoral scientists who pervert their
discipline in
order to advance their own agenda. Cephalic indexing, the T-4 program, and
various
medical experiments with which we are all familiar offered in the name of
science come to
mind. Like anything, science can be used, misused, and abused by fallible
people. To
paraphrase Thomas Edison, what the minds of man create, the hearts must guide
and control.
Of course, in that vein, what Stein said about science can also be said about
religion,
for over the ages more harm has been done to man by man in the name of the Gods
than in
the name of anything else.
Make it a good day.
