AND a thought I had... while listening to a podcast where two people, one a scientist and one a novelist were talking. Podcast site is at:
http://www.onbeing.org/
Specifically:
An American novelist and a Brazilian astrophysicist are both passionate about the majesty of science. They connect discoveries about the cosmos, new ways of understanding the mind, and our origins.
MARILYNNE ROBINSON + MARCELO GLEISER ON THE MYSTERY WE ARE - November 8, 2012
What do a fiction writer and an astrophysicist have in common? Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Marilynne Robinson, together with physicist Marcelo Gleiser, connect dots between the cosmos, our minds, and all the ways we discover the story of where we came from.

to listen to the one I am talking about.
( I want to get a book he wrote a while ago...:
Gleiser, Marcelo. | The dancing universe : from creation myths to the big bang /It is a PSE... at UCD |
Is it at the public library? -- and YES Davis PL has it at:
523.1 GLE ) |
There is a need to clarify some terms and to use various terms appropriately in the knowledge areas where they can be answered.
HOW and/or What are science questions
WHY is a religious question.
Explaining vs Describing..
Measuring vs ?????? (feeling?)
and so on....
