/sci/ - Science & Math

On the whole, this has been a much better discussion that this would have gotten on /lit/. I think I might switch over.

'Thus the question "Why is there science” leads back to the moral problem: What in general is the purpose of morality, if life, nature, and history are "non-moral"? There is no doubt that the conscientious man in the daring and extreme sense in which he is presupposed by the belief in science, affirms thereby a world other than that of life, nature, and history; and in so far as he affirms this "other world" - what? Must he not just thereby deny its counterpart, this world, our world? But you will have gathered what I am driving at, namely, that it is always a metaphysical faith on which our faith in science rests - that even we seekers after knowledge today, we godless anti-metaphysians still take our fire from the flame lit by a faith a millennium old, the Christian faith, which was also the faith of Plato, that God is truth, that the truth is divine. But what if this should become more and more incredible, what if nothing any longer proves itself divine, unless it were error, blindness, the lie - what if God himself turns out to be our most persistent lie?'

My Google skills are failing me. I can't find any statistics on how many students have sex/are sexually abused by their teachers. Any help?
