Palaeontologists disagree just as often and as radically as economists do, and yet they insist on describing what they do as science.

Greer is a fine one to lecture us on what is and what is not science.

According to wiki she received her Ph.D. in 1968 for a thesis on Shakespeare's early comedies.

Shakespeare, great as he was, does not provide a strong background in either the scientific method or the findings of science.

While I agree with you, "There are more things on heaven and Earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy, Horatio." ws a good scientific start.

What I want to know, is in the Paleolithic, if a guy said something in the middle of nowhere, far from the presence of a woman, would she ask him about when he got back to the cave? ...was he still wrong?
