[MD] Intention changes physical world (some questions)

[Heather Perella]

Case and Platt,

I've been watching this debate go back and forth.  At
times, I'm not even sure what the debate is about. 
Science has so much to offer.  I wouldn't get in the
way of science.  I would get in the way of how science
is practiced, though, but the ethics of how science is
used might be another story.  Case, I don't think you
ignore other fields in life.  You've said to me before
that you enjoy the imagination, where science and
imagination meets, for one, is the computer game you
like to play, Norrath.  
     Here's another question, to clear things up as
Matt was trying to do, too.  First off, I'm not
talking about the scientist, I'm talking about science
in these questions as follows:  

     1)  Does science teach people morals?   
     2)  Does science introspect its' (exploratory)
methods, or in other words, its' way of how it gathers
data and what to do with this data?
     3)  Is science just a labeler, in other words,
does science 'do' anything or just identify the
'things' that do?  Does science show a way to practice
life (or any paths in life), or does science just show
how life is practiced?  Is there a distinction?


     Case, I like science.  I have no quarrel with
science.  Science has benefited humankind, and tries
to benefit all walks of life upon this earth and
possibilities about life on other planets is explored,
too.  I don't know what some, such as Platt since his
name appears on this post below, are trying to point
out when it comes to science, and I wouldn't mind his
or any other persons input as to what they are trying
to set-apart or make distinct about science versus
other fields or inquiries that human beings partake in
this life.  I would appreciate any exploration into
these questions I have put forward.

thank you.
