Definition of REDUCTIONISM

1: The philosophy that breaking things down into their smallest components leads to an understanding of what the big thing is. This is flawed logic when it comes to holistic qualities such as life, health, beauty, etc. Examining a subatomic particle in the body cannot answer the question of what life or health is, anymore than examining the electrons in an atom from a flower leaf can explain the beauty of the flower. Understanding requires respect for the integrated whole and humility in the face of its mysteries
2: explanation of complex life-science processes and phenomena in terms of the laws of physics and chemistry; also : a theory or doctrine that complete reductionism is possible
3: a procedure or theory that reduces complex data and phenomena to simple terms

(50 miles north of Houston ) saw a ball bouncing

around kind of strange in the lake and went to investigate.

It turned out to be a flathead catfish that had

apparently tried to swallow a basketball which

became stuck in its mouth!!

The fish was totally exhausted from trying to

dive, but unable to, because the ball would

always bring him back up to the surface.

The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out,

but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut

the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.

You probably wouldn't have believed this,

if you hadn't seen the following pictures:

Be kinder than necessary

because everyone bites off

more than he can chew

sometime in life...]]> Humor http://www.asifthinkingmatters.com/multimediablog/index.php?itemid=628 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 10:22:47 -0400
