All methods of doing science are continually in need of challenge and fresh debate. Doing science from a non-thesistic perspective is as "normal" as doing science with the understanding that the universe is the product of intelligent design. If I had a hand in directing a public school cirriculum I would welcome the scientific disciplines I currently hold suspect in terms of accuracy, and I would push heartily for spiritual rain dances both in gym and math classes provided they were attended by properly crafted totem poles.
You lost me on that one.
I have some work to get finished. I'll check back later and see if this has evolved or not.
