      Alan Turing was gay, therefore being gay is important to science.

          so philisophy and science do have something in common.

                IIRC math was once defined a part of the philosophy branch.

                Until it became part of the applied sciences.

                      No, they're the philosophers. The biological scientists man the fast food restaurants...

                          1. Agriculture/Food Industry
                          2. Sanitation
                          3. Construction
                          4. Police/Defense
                          5. Education (3 R's)

                          So I guess engineering gets the top billing in this poll.

                            Perhaps the definitions I used are not so good.

                            What I mean is that until the latest important revolutions in physics, chemistry and biology, math had very little practical application.

                            Math, Philosophy and Music were all considered part of the same group of topics in the middle ages.

                            It is only after the scientific discoveries of the renaissance, and the developement of practical uses for science, requiring mathematical skills, that math and philosophy went on seperate ways.

                            Still math has philosophy at its base.
                            The definition and meaning of 1 is philosophical in essense.

                              Cretin. Spinoza's philosophy is an immanentist cosmology. Not to say that Einstein necessarily had it right, but it *had* something to do.
