In the argument over religion vs secular humanism I've been following for a the last few days, I took note when one person stated that "science should be the bulwark on which we place our faith; and run our political affairs".

To that person, I would point him towards this little fable over at The Bastard Sword.

As Victorio says in the tale: "... but when it comes to problems that depend on the battles between the tiniest of nature's whims your predictions grow quite uncertain."

Anyone that has observed human nature in action knows only one thing; it is the most whimsical of all nature's variables. Science has never, and WILL never be able to account for it's will-o-the-wisp nature in any consistant manner. It's true that the average response may be forecast, but when dealing in matters of life and death, it only takes one unforseen divergence from that average to negate the whole forecasted results.
