Today CompuServe served up this little teaser for all members on the opening
screen:
<<Searching for Truth?>>
Well, yeah. So I clicked there to learn more. Here is what came up:
<<Did you know you can learn where scientists are searching for truth? That's
right! With CompuServe you can GO SCIENCE to get the latest news in the
Science/Math Education Forum on the missing quark or how a Koch triangle can
be used to form a snowflake pattern.>>
Now think about that!
In the "old days," the search for Truth always meant delving into the meaning
of existence. You climbed a mountain in Tibet to ask the mystic what Truth
was. Or you sought God. Truth, everyone knew, lay OUTSIDE the limited
parameters of the physical world.
Not anymore. Now "Truth" is what science tells us. Everything else is
relegated, by implication, to "Superstition" or "Harmless Opinions."
Another bit of evidence that our modern age is fast losing the very ability to
find "Truth."
