In practice and theory...

In theory there is no difference between practice and theory, in practice there is.

Dawkins' Theory Power equation and God.

Dawkins' answer to the Edge question of what's your equation.

Theory(God)-> Things explained  ->  Everything
              ----------------     ----------------
               Things assumed      Everything + God

Tat's Addendum: Theory power ratio of less than 1 is more worthless than no theory at all.

I have a theory...

I believe the Sun travels around the Earth. It just makes sense. Geocentrism is clearly the way our planet and the Sun are situated. However, since this idea would subject me to ridicule and make me a pariah, I won't stick my neck out.

I would be the oppressed by the scientific orthodoxy just like Galileo!
