...Donato said. “We did a decent job killing penalties for most of the night, but when you give them opportunities in the 6, 7 range, they’re going to score a couple goals on most teams.” YOUTH CULTURE It is a truth universally acknowledged that the Beanpot is a tournament in which seniors really come out to play.

Certainly, a large part of the aura around “Science” is derived from its perception as merely a series of impartial discoveries.

If scientists truly follow the principles of openness their method espouses, they cannot rule out the possibility of a purpose behind the process...
...that sense, the greatest strength of science is also its greatest weakness. Science advances through perpetual disagreement and revision; scientists establish rigorous methods and standards to work toward the achievement of truth, and never seek to predict outcomes unconditionally. These practices allow for the exhilaration of unexpected discoveries. But it comes with a caveat: When the scientific method is turned inward to examine its own premises, it becomes destabilized. An ideological breach opens, in which, theoretically, a God or ethics could exist...
...principle naturally extends beyond biology. While science owes its success to its rigorous methods, the search for truth is much more than a process. There is an end truth to be sought. Indeed, while Einstein may have been right to contend that “I have never obtained any ethical values from my scientific work,” it must be remembered that then, as now, science was incomplete...
