"When I finally recognized the importance of mechanism in the mind of
scientists, I finally understood most of their complaints about
creationists. The mistake we made was in thinking science is about
truth. To call it a game is somewhat perjorative. Science is a
method for investigating the mechanisms of the universe. Investigations
into the non-mechanistic aspects of the universe are philosophy and
theology.""
A good summary, Dave, of what I had been trying (in perhaps
too many words) to express! Thank you.
I would only add that calling science a "game" need not
be pejorative. But that's a nit-pick.
