13. My post went completely over your head, didn't it?
Edited on Fri Jun-11-10 02:25 AM by Cleobulus
First off, the Mechanization of the World as a model has been replaced in Science for well over a century, and in life sciences, even longer. So it no longer applies.

ON EDIT: Actually, another thing to point out, Religion started the Mechanization of the world as a model of the cosmos and the Earth, in the Earth-centric universe. Galileo, and Copernicus, both used this model, modified, to explain their theories. This model was eventually abandoned, as I noted above.

As far as everything you are talking about, those are APPLICATIONS of science, not science itself, science is a method of discovery and evaluation, THIS HAS NOT CHANGED. Do not confuse science with the application of it through technology, nor the abuse of it through capitalistic economics.
