DC>Too bad you didn't take the time to learn anything about it them.

DC>Science does not do proofs or absolutes.

Are we talking about science or math here ?  The quote from Benjamin
Pierce and Albert Einstein were about mathematics where proofs and
absolutes are done regularly.  I made no comments about science so I am
unsure why you responded as such.
