I agree with many of these, but this list is much to liberal arts oriented.

That's because the sciences of theology and philosophy are more important than the other sciences. Logically, the lesser sciences depend upon these higher sciences for their very definition.

"That's because the sciences of theology and philosophy are more important than the other sciences. "

LOL! Neither theology nor philosophy has built the bridge you trust when driving your car, the building you trust won't fall over in a windstorm while at work, the house/apmnt/etc you live in, the media you rely on for communication (TV, cellular networks, PCs, Al Gore's Internet, etc.), the vehicles you use for transportation, etc.

Philosophy and theology are nice sciences to talk about, but rarely put food on the table, give you shelter from storms or enemies, etc.

Thats funny stuff, really. Theology is the most important topic for Christians, myself included, but it is not a science. As for philosophy being a higher science, and more important that the "lesser" (i.e. real) sciences, tell that to all the philosophy majors who now work at Walmart and all the Engineers making six figure salaries. Aristotle's policy of all thinking, no experiment lead to brilliant thoughts like heavy objects fall faster than light objects, heat comes from "caloric", and the earth is the center of the solar system.
