Mine too! I have found that most scientists live for the increases in knowledge that they hope to produce.
(Some of the greatest discoveries have come not from "Eureka!" but from "Hmmmmm. That's funny!")
That last part is what irks the H-E-double hocky sticks out of me.
Also, the archaeologist(?) I was thinking of has a hyphenated last name and she was working along with U of AZ down in Mexico. I think her name was Steen or something. She caused quite a stir and a controversy with some dating she did in the 70's and I want to delve into it further. If any of that jogs your brain and you have a link send it. (I've read the articles on the ID/Creation sites and want to see more of why her methods were crucified) I'm sure there are some papers out there waiting for me to find them.
