There are those who want to upset the whole applecart and devise a radical new science, free from the constraints of "naturalism", but without some indication that such a revolution would result in anything better than what we have or that it would be useful to anybody, least of all scientists, such a revolution is simply an invitation to chaos.

This shows the philosophical unity of the Creationists and the Post-Modern-Deconstructionists. Both seek to deny the scientific method as a means of gaining konwledge and both give precidence to feelings and an esoteric gnosis not subject to scientific analysis.

Volley to you: Is naturalism to be conceived free from the constraints of anything that is not naturalism? It may be that the very character of this debate indicates that the pretended autonomy is often operative on any side. This is typical of warfare.
