James K. Morrow Quote

She asked, Do you believe science has all the answers?
Huh?
Science. Does it have all the answers?
Everybody thinks he's being oh-so-deep when he says science doesn't have all the answers.
Done. All of it. Virginity gone, flesh ratified, mother spited, mission discovered—the gospel of empirical truth! Yes! Oh, yes!
Science does have all the answers, said Howard, withdrawing. The problem is that we don't have all the science.
