Yes, I do like the "scientific method." It has led us to all kinds of marvels and wonders. And I do love some of the grand theories of science - evolution seems like a great saga, and I love cosmology too.
But I think I want my universe to also be filled with signs and myths. I like things pointing to other things, and I love a good story. And I'm big on making connections. Connecting things that at first seem so unconnected.
There is endless entertainment and insight in doing that kind of brainstorming. And once you start connecting, well, it really is an endless, all-comsuming, very rewarding occupation.
