Science isn't actually about the precision of the intended results. It's a methodology.

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."

– W.B. Yeats, "The Second Coming"

Mood
Confused

I was never sure if that Conservapedia was a spoof or not. It's still very hard to tell.

Well, wasn't a core part of Jesus' instruction to his disciples to renounce worldly goods and throw oneself upon the goodwill of others? That sounds a pretty radical Socialist philosophy to me. I seem to remember he wasn't all that keen on the moneylenders and other representatives of what would today be called the capitalist society, either.
