I see a reaction to MY use of the word "myth" but no explanation of what
"myth" means to you. Is it simply another word of "lie?" Is it merely the
fantacizing of primitive minds now completely surpassed by "science." Is
there a "myth of science?" I thought I had offered some explication of its
meaning as I view it. In fact, I thought I did so in the very post you were
answering although I didn't choose to re-quote the whole.
Sincerely,
Frank
