Does anybody believe in Physics?

I'll lay 3-1 that Jordan replies to Bodhi's next post. Actual odds are probably 5-1, but I'm a greedy bookie.

Ahem, anyway. Philosophers have made a number of breakthroughs in our understanding of the world. I would almost say that Philosophy has done more for the world than science.

One quick example:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..."

Oh but wait, the Declaration of Independance (praticularly the ideas expressed within it, and the Constitution which followed on from it) aren't science and didn't come from science. They must be foolish and bad.

I guess Jordan doesn't like the idea of being created equal, or having inalienable rights or having freedom of speech (no wait, he definately does like that one [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] )
