I'm sure you don't think there's such a thing as absolute truth. What you were arguing is that science should be left alone, or whatever, because its aim was to find absolute truth, not simply to model the physical world. But the only person who thinks that science is the pursuit of some sort of absolute truth is the straw scientist you stuffed up your face. Forget pragmatics, and absolute truth; do you think the aim of science is to construct as accurate a model as possible of the physical world? Because if you do, why in Sodomy did you criticise science for having unstable theories? Instability is inevitable when scientists are in the business of constantly refining their models of the world.
