A Suicide Bombing Is NOT an Ultimate Act of Devotion

WASHINGTON, July 12 - "A suicide bombing may be the ultimate
act of devotion, and so it also represents the ultimate
security nightmare: an attack in which the one essential
ingredient is not training or technology but commitment."

Douglas Jehl "Tactics: Experts Fear Suicide Bomb Is Spreading
Into the West" New York Times July 13, 2005

"Firstly, science is limited to its domain of application (the measurable behaviour of physical objects) and so cannot handle features of a quite different nature, such as

- the appreciation of beauty,

- the greatness of literature,

- the joy of cooking,

- the lessons of history,

- the quality of meditation,

- the understanding of love."
