Sounds like Daniel got blamed for using the d-word relative to science,
when actually it was me. Daniel was just straightening me out.
I didn't intend any disrespect and was speaking somewhat ornately. The
meaning (in the context of what I wrote) was supposed to be: Science can't
take the place of magic in our lives. Of course, nobody ever said it
_really_ should. But, wouldn't it be nice if we _could_ jump from science
to "beyond the zero", over the rainbow, or to wherever our hearts desire.
Maybe I spoke too extravagantly.
P.
P.S. Actually I _love_ science, this list and all of you.
