Why did you feel the need to put that particular Dostojevski quote here? What meaning does it have to you? What do you want to point out with it?
I put that quote so the everyone else may read. That's the point.
The quote as if it asks you - what meaning does it have to you. That's the point.
I don't want to point out much with it as I can't say much better than Dosotoesvky? Do you athiest? That's the point.

Try it.

Fedor Dostoesvky


From his posts and his tag line I get the impression that he is trying to pretend a fiction writter, as it were, would make a better scientist than a scientist.

He is trying to defend this narcissistic, self indulgent fantasy of an intellectual weakling by claiming there are parts of science that can never be reached by science, but must be reached by mushy headed wishthinking such as what probabaly define the outer limits of his own capabilities.
