Don't see it? 'Dogma does not belong in science.' That's dogma!

My claim that dogma does not belong in science is not a scientific claim. It is a claim *about* science. It is a philosophical claim. Philosophical claims often cannot be proved. As the great mathematicial and philosopher Kurt Goedel said, “In any non-trivial axiomatic system, there are true theorems which cannot be proven.”

By the way, genius, are you saying that dogma *does* belong in science? Just what is your point?
