136. One poster claims, "[Science] can only allow us to learn about anything and everything

that could possibly affect us."

Another posits, "Science extends to cover the entirety of the universe and everything within it. The scientific method is the only useful means of gaining factual knowledge.( sic! )"

Yet another demanded scientific proof that so-called "other truths" (i.e. non-quantifiable aspects of the human experience) exist.

So hubris, hyperbolic overvaluation of one's own facilities, and an especially an all-too-human lack of perspective does not fall away from a person because he dons the appellation of "scientist"! :)
