As for your assertion about language, I happen to be a linguist, and I'm going to have to disagree with you. We know the word 'love' is spelled 'love' because we have science that tells us the evolution of the word. English may not be a science, but then again neither are atoms. The study thereof is where science comes into play.

Language was not always written down and therefore the study of it is not necessarily a science, which deals with the study of the material. Science is about the physical...it is what separates itself from the realm of myth and its many guises.

Well, you'd be wrong. Linguistics primarily studies speech, not written language. However, because we can't actively study the speech of people who are long dead, we use linguistic methods to analyze written language to give us insights about the speech of those who wrote the documents. Linguistics works hand-in-hand with archaeology and anthropology to determine past life-ways and language use.

It's really kind of funny how completely wrong you are sometimes. Smile
