Philosophically, science is not about the truth, but about ever-better approximations to the truth. This is why scientific theories, no matter how well attested, are always open to revisions—the next decimal may hold surprises.
I wonder where Hobbes went to college for such a well-rounded, Liberal Arts education? LSU perhaps??? ;-)
(P.S.: For those of you who don’t know, LSU is Louisiana State University, located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (in the U.S.). While they’re more famously known as the “Fighting Tigers”, they’re also called the “Bayou Bengals” as well.)

Physics and biology don’t sound like liberal arts to me. But Holmes’ artistic expression when Calvin comes home from school is pretty good.

Philosophy is easy when you already know what you are. Tigers are killing machines. Who like smooches.

Artistic expression of running down prey and eating it? Will have to work on that while shopping for dinner.

Nope! Only raised more pointless questions, towhich even if we knew the answers, it would do usno bloody good whatsoever.

None of that PC stuff about killing things with this tiger, no sir…on the other hand, there’s that whole “natural” thing to contend with…
