"Even mistaken hypotheses and theories are of use in leading to discoveries. This remark is true in all the sciences. The alchemists founded chemistry by pursuing chimerical problems and theories which are false. In physical science, which is more advanced than biology, we might still cite men of science who make great discoveries by relying on false theories. It seems, indeed, a necessary weakness of our mind to be able to reach truth only across a multitude of errors and obstacles."

-- Claude Bernard

But I am afraid this has been more the norm than the exception in the use of the Bible.”
“If a currency is to become a growing, an increasing reserve currency, there has to be not only a demand for it there has to be a supply of it.”
