scientific method is a very different beastie to theology
Suddenly I have a vision of a BBC wildlife documentary:[David Attenborough whisper]
"And here we have the reclusive scientific methodology beastie, quietly disproving its prey. This disproof is often difficult to find - Nature tends to hide it in deep patches of mathematics.
Contrast the the rumbustious theological beastie, with its favoured hunting technique of denouncement and distinctive hunting cry of 'Heretichereticheretic'. This species has been largely superceded by a sub species which hunts using debate, but this sub species is harder to observe in the wild.
The species are cross fertile but these merges are rarely sucessful."
