“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

Abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs is a nettlesome problem, as its incidence has risen since the beginning of the century. Long-term regular alcohol abuse sooner or later leads to alcohol dependence, mental shock, nervous system and internal organs diseases.

However, the exact number of the alcohol abusers is very difficult to determine because people tend not to share this information. Thus, the numbers among civilians are very rough as ...

“What the Church needs to know about the human mind”

Dear X, While science can explain religion, religion is not so well-equipped for the endeavor of explaining scientific facts. Science is well aware of the fact that the human mind evolved to believe in gods and that religion (main religions, that is) has not exactly updated its point of view when it comes to planetary history. It would be easy to explore Dawkins’ perspective and demonstrate religion’s detrimental role in the evolution of the human species in order to update religion regarding its limits. However, I would like to adopt a positive vision and focus on a different ...

“Debt markets are an integral part of the financial sector and effectively supplement the funds provided by the banking sector” (Tariq, 2004, p. 5).
