[MD] not enough memory

[MarshaV]

Greetings Will,

And that seems the correct way to understand it.  And seen from 
within this point-of-view, all science offers beautiful analogues, 
and some of these analogues also have a great 
usefulness.  Bravo!  Science, though, has a darker, authoritative 
side, much like 'the church' in times not so long ago.  There are 
those who will justify all manner of statements with a "we now know 
this or that from this or that scientific test", end of story.  To 
them it seems that science, with its materialistic and mechanistic 
point-of-view, is the last word when it comes to defining 
reality.  WISDOM is ignored: THERE IS NO PERCEIVER and NO THING 
PERCEIVED.  I would say, science's process and value is no greater 
than a painting's, a sculpture's, a poem's, a dance's, a garden's or 
performing motorcycle maintenance.  And you are correct, all are fun!
