Science is about facts and data, not religion. There should be no heretics or true believers when it comes to science.

I read HERETICAL THOUGHTS ABOUT SCIENCE AND SOCIETY and I'm going to read this piece about him, The Civil Heretic in the NY Times (referred to by the paragraph in Slashdot).

I'll be interested in how much of what he actually says made it into the Times piece, and how much of that piece is pure distortion. It's 8 pages so I'll read it later. But I am very interested in Dyson so thanks for posting this here. I don't always check Slashdot and I don't subscribe to the NY Times.

“The climate-studies people who work with models always tend to overestimate their models,” Dyson was saying. “They come to believe models are real and forget they are only models.”

Dyson is brilliant. I know his daughter, and based on the kind of person she is he appears to have been a very good parent as well.
