<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4905609, member: 19463"]There is only a fight between science and art when people fail to understand the 10,000 ways they are linked. Scientists who abhor art tend to fail to advance their field. Artists who do not understand science watch their masterpieces fade from view. Occasionally we have people who find a balance between truth and beauty in a special way. I am neither a scientist nor an artist.
