The Desire for Certainty
Scientific
fundamentalism mirrors religious fundamentalism in distressingly many
ways. But there is no need for science to be fundamentalist any more
than there is a need for religions to be fundamentalist. Fundamentalism
springs from a desire for certainty, but many religious people and many
scientists know that this cannot be achieved by beings with limited
minds and experience such as ourselves.
