Eh, well. I more or less agree with you on that.. =) I'm mainly just wondering if it is randomly possible.
I actually haven't the slightest problem with the idea of as-yet-unexplained scientific phenomena. If I did, I would probably invent some supernatural fantasy to explain them.
Also, it would signify that scientific progress had already come to an end - there being nothing left to discover - and I certainly don't believe that.
If it were, there would be quite a few "PO'ed" scientists. BLASTing proteins or genome sequences would be a "fruitless" endeavor.
You don't think we already have enough of those retarding the growth of mankind?
