Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible ------------------------------------------------------------------------ R. K. Pachauri, chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), recently urged the media to focus on the "scientific rationale for action" rather than the political aspects of climate change. I disagree. Science does not and cannot provide us with our values, our sense of ethical responsibility, or our vision of the future. http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/node/2987/full --- On Fri, 10/9/09, SHRIKANT BARVE <shri8131 at yahoo.com> wrote: > > Ayurveda is not a miracle, it’s a science, says Vaidya > Bhide, and it doesn’t have the drawbacks of Allopathy > (where almost all medicines today are inorganic in nature > because they’re synthesised and can, therefore, do more > damage than good). He quipped, “We’re all organic, > Mother Earth is organic…but even our diets are not organic > anymore!” > This is funny. In addition to not having a clue as to what is meant by science, this vaidya does not seem to know the difference between organic and inorganic. Is water organic or inorganic according to him? Can a person who does not understand elementary chemistry, let alone the biochemistry of the human body, be allowed to prepare and dispense his own chemicals? Don't his promoters and audience at the Goa Science Center remember anything from their high school chemistry classes? This is why we need journalists who are scientifically literate. Otherwise, we will continue to have the general public being fooled by such nonsense.
