Being able to observe or to make observations is not the same as being observant. The first two are part of the scientific method but it is only the third that sets the scientific method into motion. We participate in the first two because of our individual skill but the third occurs because of our humanity.

Humans do not kill because of what is in their hands but because of what is in their minds.

The purpose of science is not to satisfy human curiosity but to ensure human survival. Why is it that we have stopped doing any real science? Science has now become high tech journalism, reporting on what has been observed. That is not true science.

All we do is report on what we observe. Science is not involved in the quest to ensure human survival. The greatest threat to human survival is not in our environment but among ourselves. Science has restricted itself to the study of the environment. That is, to put it kindly, voyeurism.
