"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant...

[polichick]

We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."

~Albert Einstein, scientist and more.

1. Science isn't meant to keep us in a neat little box...

It's meant to explore mysteries - and the truths behind those mysteries are often intuited first. We know about them instinctively and then use science as a tool to gain a broader, and sometimes practical, understanding.

4. K&R Albert obviously wasn't nearly as bright as the DU "scientists".

5. Albert's ideas would be branded as "woo" by many know-it-alls today.

6. a few more,

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

Albert Einstein

7. Woo woo credo #36...

36 Quote Einstein, and do so often. Quote things he said if possible, but Einstein has been dead for ages now and so it's permissible to bring him up to date. Change the odd word here and there to make it clear that Einstein would have supported your argument if only he knew what you know. Act as if any arbitrary Einstein quote supports your position.
