Also, the quote in the quotes section does not have a name associated with it, and is linked to a website written by a man with a fundamental misunderstanding of the fundamental forces which are: gravity, the weak nuclear force, the strong nuclear force, and the electromagnetic force. Furthermore, the sentence "Materialism denies that most great intellectual breakthroughs were the result of faith in the unseen" has no associated explanation whatsoever, and probably assumes that it is true because most scientists had faith in the unseen, without realizing that that might not be the ''cause'' of the breakthrough. -JZim | | ::How are race, gender and wealth superficial?

| | + | ::: Race at least is superficial. Why do you say that the quote is written by someone with a "fundamental misunderstanding of the fundamental forces"? As for the cause of the breakthroughs, see [[Natural science#beginnings]]; it was a cause. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 20:58, 7 November 2008 (EST) |
