"Notes From a Parallel Universe"

Khan seems to maintain a neutral position through out the essay. She talks about the differences between "real scientists" and "cranks". Reading this through made me laugh a little because my step dad is always talking about "cranks" and how they aren't real scientist and what not. Anyway, thought Khan tries not to make the essay seem as though it is talking about religion (only even mentioning God casually) it feels as thought the underlaying message has to deal with religion and science. Its funny because most people don't favor "cranks" (or at least you think they would) but it seems that even though Kahn tries to stay neutral she favors cranks and you can see this with her ending how she shows and example where a crank was actually right about something.
