Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

two enemy stronger
Imagine a room awash in gasoline, and there are two implacable enemies in that room. One of them has nine thousand matches. The other has seven thousand matches. Each of them is concerned about who's ahead, who's stronger. Well that's the kind of situation we are actually in.

What is necessary is to reduce the matches and to clean up the gasoline.
