<HTML>Well stated Chris,
Unfortunately, I believe truth on the outside must always be built upon a base of truth on the inside. And that inner basis is built upon one's spirituality/value system. Unless one is honest with oneself, ones attempts to present things honestly to others is on shaky ground. I only mention this, not to sound preachy, but to emphasize that although in total agreement with your concept of the need for truth in science, I am pessimistic that most people have the internal honesty (true knowledge of their own ego, biases, etc.) to overcome the insecurity of total external honesty. I hope I am totally wrong, since I fully recognize that my understanding of many of these issues is at the total mercy of the veracity of the information presented here (since I do not have the time to verify all such info. for myself). Thanks for your appeal and I sincerely hope it is taken to heart by the board members here.
