maelorin,
I agree! Too often persons studying physics or biology who uncover a principle are revered as gods, rather than the contribution they make in uncovering a reality. The reality has always been there. That they discover a principle of its reality is what changes thought and intellectual direction. It is not their reality it is ours, all of us, reality. The reality does not change because they uncovered a principle, so their role is not to be deified. The principle becomes the focus of development and it is not attributed to one who uncovers it as if they are its creator.

I prefer to give focus to the reality and to the originator of the reality over one who might theorise on a principle.

Has any one read Sir Arthur Keith: “Evolution and Ethics” e book available. . His work is indeed interesting and professional. He even looks like me, or I should say I look like him.
