I'm guessing that last one was humor?

Thing is, science is a philosophical construct.  Therefore philosophy subsumes science.  I am delighted by what science discovers, and find it pleasing that it does so much by attempting so little.

But I'm also delighted by love, virtue, logic.  Admittedly they're not human creations, but they are things humans particpate in.

I think knowing the ends that we should seek with our science is a skill that is greater than and not reducible to science.

I'd say man's greatest skill is to treat his fellow man with compassion and dignity in every circumstance.

I completely agree.  It's amazing how far we've come in such a short time.  When you think about all the different fields...medicine, physics, biology, and chemistry.   Just a short leap back in human history an understanding of small science meant you knew magic.  I'm a HS science teacher and love teaching my freshmen how AWESOME science is.
