Sci Fight is a quarterly science comedy debate held at the Spotted Mallard, with your definitely qualified host Alanta Colley (citation needed).
This round's topic: Science is greater than art.
You have to admit science is pretty handy. It makes the kettle turn on. It keeps one's skin from floating off. And it's sold a lot of beakers.
But does anyone live for science? Does it give life meaning? Has anyone teared up at the beauty of an isotope? The siren call of an electromagnetic wave? Been seduced by the shapely curves of a quadratic function? What were we talking about?
Is science the what and art the why? Or are they part of each other? The precious molecules through adhesion and cohesion holding together Monet's 'Water Lilly pond', or the brilliant colours of the mantis shrimp beguiling marine biologists enough to study just why a seafloor faring prawn developed the world's fastest punch?
No, we shall have no complex interrelationships, for this is a DEBATE! Let's get two groups of scientists and artists to adopt the topic as a simplistic binary opposition and declare whether or not it's true that Science is greater than Art.
