[black][size 3]It's facinating when you learn something new about someone. I didn't really take you for one who would know anything about Lao Tzu or the Tao Te Ching. Most definitely a pleasant surprise on my part. I spent a good deal of time in China studying and also have a great appreciation for the philosophies and culture there. Their history is as amazing as it is vast, as are the many diverse aspects of the people. Perhaps we could discuss certain facets of those things asian at some point. [/size][/black]

[black][size 3]I was not indicting you nor your education when I asked about your study of Biology. I appologize if it appeared that way. I was building up the premise that I was getting to - that being; Biology is an immensely diverse field and there are relatively few people that have studied it and placed themselves in the postition to research many of the life forms that are still left on this planet. What little money does find it's way into general biological research of different life forms is almost exclusively allocated to the limited opportunities that will bring in a good monetary return - i.e. the money goes where the money will increase - not necessarily the knowledge.

[black][size 3]Science is a process of understanding the natural world as it is most commonly experienced. Biology is a specific endeavor pertaining to just that which we identify as life. As we understand one thing, it creates more questions for which it is ever going to be possible to develop answers. [/size][/black]
