Science is certainly an important tributary to the ocean of human experience. It is, however, as subject to abuse as are all the other tributaries. It is subject to the subjectivity of its practicioners, just as are all other human
activities. To claim that it is superior to other forms of knowledge can be as dangerous to the claimants as it is to those who allow themselves to be intimidated by the verbiage. To claim its object is "truth" is to misunderstand the nature of truth.
