However, I think that some scientists today perhaps no longer recognize its limitations, so I am interested to read this book and see how someone on the scientific side of things (rather than the populist side of things) makes the case for science's own limitations.Andrew Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315283344297150907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413646940649564688.post-17570623289183874752009-12-29T10:06:47.244-07:002009-12-29T10:06:47.244-07:00The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W.
