I would submit that science, while great for the body, provides nothing for the soul. The mind gets a kick from both.

What does science tell us about ourselves? That we are animals? Does it gives us ethics? Does it teach us compassion? Does it give us something to hold onto when we need it?

I would submit that it doesn't. When I have a problem personal I need to solve I will either sit down and read philosophy or I will get down on my knees and prey. I've never fealt the need to do equations to sort out my problems.

The current problems in the Public Sector in Britain and America are excellant evidence that science (mathematics) cannot predict human behaviour. They said we were all out for what we can get and that if you give civil servants targets and rewards they will work better.

It didn't work. Which suggest the econimists were wrong and Civil Servants were actually out for more than power or money.
