Blinded With Science

In BLINDED WITH SCIENCE Author and Journalist Dave Randle asks whether what we fondly believe to be coldly rational 'science' has lost its spirit of inquiry in an effort to become an infallible dogmatic belief system; in short another 'religion'. Do we and even those entering into the worlds of science still question every proposition and test all contrary propositions to destruction? Or do we utter such platitudes as 'The science is settled,' and accept that, as long as someone in a white coat said it, or the BBC said it was science, that it is a new form of holy writ to be swallowed wholesale and treated with a touchingly absolute trust? Arranged in short essays, the book is intended to provide food for thought for those who like to think and reading pleasure for those who like and respect good writing, as well as a few laughs along the way.
