I read a short story many years ago about people who lived only 3 days and were on a world that was too hot during the day and too cold at night. In this I found the best defense of scientific method I have ever read. I believe that the story was Fire and Ice and was by Bradbury. Can anyone confirm this and tell me where I could find it?

The story is in fact "Fire and Ice" by Bradbury. You can find this story in "The Golden Apples of the Sun"

Word has it this will be a feature film!

Is this a story that has passed me by? Or are you guys really talking about "Frost and Fire"?

I know it's been published as "The Creatures that Time Forgot" and "Frost and Fire." I assumed "Fire and Ice" was another alternate title.

also found in R is for Rocket, I believe.

My mistake. I had been reading Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice" when answering the question. I did indeed mean "Frost and Fire".
