I feel a Chesterton quote coming on...

[avevale_intelligencer]

"Scores and hundreds of times I have heard, through my youth
and early manhood, the repetition of that ultimatum:
"You must accept the conclusions of science." And it is that notion
or experience that has now been concluded; or rather excluded.
Whatever else is questionable, there is henceforth no
question of anybody "accepting" the conclusions of science.
The new scientists themselves do not ask us to accept
the conclusions of science. The new scientists themselves
do not accept the conclusions of the new science.
To do them justice, they deny vigorously that science
has concluded; or that it has, in that sense, any conclusion.
The finest intellects among them repeat, again and again,
that science is inconclusive.

Which is all very well, and all very wise, and all very true
to the gradual adjustment of truths on their own plane.
But meanwhile-there is such a thing as human life. The Victorian
agnostics waited hopefully for science to give them a working
certainty about life. The new physicist philosophers are in no
way different, except that they wait hopelessly instead of hopefully.
For they know very well the real meaning of relativity; that their own
views may pass from being relatively right to being relatively wrong.
And meanwhile, as I say, there is such a thing as wanting a working
rule as to whether we should pay our debts or murder our enemies.
We would not wait for a nineteenth-century enlightenment that might come.
We certainly will not wait for a twentieth-century enlightenment
that cannot come. If we want a guide to life, it seems that we
must look elsewhere."
