Prescience

Catching up on some older posts in my feed-reader …

The following appeared on CNN's website last month, 22 October 2008:

FINDLAY, Ohio (CNN) –- In an interview posted online Wednesday, Sarah Palin told Dr. James Dobson of “Focus on the Family” that she is confident God will do “the right thing for America” on Nov. 4.

The above via Sean at Cosmic Variance, posting that same day, who offered it as supporting evidence for his own Q and A:

Q: Why is fundamentalist Christianity better than string theory?

A: Because it makes testable predictions.

On a perhaps not unrelated note, it never occurred to me until just now that in addition to pronouncing this post's title presh-uhns, one could also say pre-science.
