Yeah, sounds about as stupid as "post modernism" where everyone has an equally valid viewpoint. Claptrap. An ignorant viewpoint is worth exactly what you wouldn't pay for it. An experts opinion is usually worth the quantity that he does get paid for it.

Belief is most certainly not sufficient for knowledge.

There is a fundamental question - does the society have right to have wrong scientific views and teach them in schools?

If not then we will have scientocracy where the scientists rule. This will be a form of bureaucratic aristocracy resembling the Soviet model.

Is the Science the Supreme Law of the land?
