Yeah, like I said, science works within the bounds of science. I've no
problem with that: I consider the scientific method perfect for things you
can measure. But unless you're a hardline reductionist, there are things in
the world you can't measure, and that's where science becomes less useful.

Dawkins has the view that science has the potential explain *everything*. In
this I find him arrogant and annoying.

I agree with Dawkins that religion has far too strong a hold on the world,
but I disagree with just about everything else he says.
