Reminds me of Ben Franklin's observation: "So convenient a thing it is to
be a rational creature, since it enables us to find (evidence)or make a
reason for everything one has a mind to do (or believe)." Parens added.

I recall a time not long ago when the scientific rationale and evidence for
eugenics was indisputable. Those who worship at the altar of science today
might want to take note as well as ponder the defect in the thinking of 
people like Dawkins that Pirsig reveals in Lila.
