Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:4
"A psychologist, a biologist, a mathematician, and a physicist were riding a train through the Scottish countryside.
Looking out the window, they all noticed a lone black sheep on a hill.
The psychologist intoned, “Well, what do you know. I didn’t realize the sheep in Scotland were black.”
The biologist corrected him, saying, “You don’t know that all the sheep in Scotland are black – just some of them.”
Piping in, the mathematician retorted, “To be correct you must say, ‘At least one’ sheep in Scotland is black.”
The physicist had the last word, though, stating, “Gentlemen, all we know with certainty based on our observations is that at least one sheep in Scotland is black on at least one side, at least part of the time.”
Moral: There are hard and soft sciences, and extrapolation is not always justified."
