Koan #20: Science or Scientists

Is the Faith at war with science? Should the Faith fear science? Does the Faith contradict science? Of course not. Is the truth at war with truth? Should the truth fear truth? Does the truth contradict truth? How absurd! Yet wait, for the Faith is at war with some scientists. And the Faith should fear some scientists. And the Faith indeed contradicts some scientists. This cannot be denied. Let the Faithful therefore, be wary of the scientist himself, not the tool he uses, just as the Faithful should be wary of all men in this fallen world. For the scientist is not immune from the biases, prejudices, narrow-mindedness, follies, faulty interpretations, partialities, preconceived notions, foregone conclusions, presuppositions, wilful blindness, emotional manipulations, unconscious predispositions, and evidentiary favouritisms that influences all men. And thus let the Faithful remain vigilant against any man and his words, whether he be one of science or not.
