Interesting statement! I wonder how much credulity one would have to be endowed with in order to believe that a religious man like Fr. Ivo does not have his own pre-conceived religious beliefs. Perhaps, much more than that required to believe that his religious education gives him the ability to recognize what is genuinely scientific while my scientific education does not give me the ability to do so. The claims made by him that a historical statement is automatically scientific, and that science approves of Homeopathy and Ayurveda are demonstrably bogus. Please see my earlier posts on these issues in the Goanet archives. Here is a nice article published by the American Council on Science and Health on pseudoscience in the alternative medical belief systems like Homeopathy and Ayurveda. http://www.acsh.org/healthissues/newsID.908/healthissue_detail.asp Cheers, Santosh
