Exactly ... you rant against the “religion of scientism” while, unbeknownst to you, you are still trapped and limited by the assumptions of scientism. That is my point exactly. Thank you for confirming it.
Perhaps a few more Greek philosophers and religious mystics, and a few less 20th century statisticians, need to find their way to your library.
As for the point you make ad nauseum about UFO’s ... I have some sympathy for it. I believe in many matters, such as claims of divine revelation, doubt is never an appropriate knee-jerk reaction...however, that doesn’t mean I should take the claims of every Branch Davidian or Heaven’s Gate leader seriously. Sometimes the lunacy is obvious even to the smallest child who has never even heard of the scientific method.
TRUE ENOUGH.
THX.
Though you are actually wrong about my . . . awareness about the flaws of science and about my allegiance to them.
