A theory is only as good as its assumptions. If the premises are false, the theory has no real scientific value. The only scientific criterion for judging the validity of a scientific theory is a confrontation with the data of experience.

Scientific Angels
Scientific angels help me create
Amygdule, hippocampus on fire
Neurons and neurotransmitters
Wonderful serotonin and endorphins
Frontal lobes like an executive branch
Diagnostic centers where logic blends
Limbic system and neo-cortex
Neuropath ways filled with emotion
Comprehending feelings
Poetry is chemical my friends
Take your vitamin B and C
Let the amino acids flow
Dopamine and the quiet pensive mood
We are wonderfully and fearfully made!
Scientific angels of the hemispheres

If Baltimore's view, that scientists who do not take the words of authorities are far removed from the ordinary behavior of scientists, prevails in the scientific community, then something fundamental, very serious, and very disturbing is happening to the scientific community.

A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory.

In praising science, it does not follow that we must adopt the very poor philosophies which scientific men have constructed. In philosophy they have much more to learn than to teach.
