his page has links to a number of sundry other interests, such as commercial and the
philosophies of science and religion. Although on the face of it the philosophies of
science and religion may appear to be rather esoteric with considerable intellectual
appeal but of little practical value, in fact they are important, because of the
differences between faith and science. In science education it is important to know
what science is and what science is not, what its limitations are and the epistimology
of science. Unfortunately, certain movements in the USA, particularly in places like
Kansas, want to obfuscate scientific epistimology. As the economy of industrialized
countries depends on good science education, a poor knowledge of science can undermine
it.
