But then you will transform some science into a religion. That explains why you seem to defend materialism, despite the ack of any evidences and actually may evidence against it. It is just impossible, for any universal machine, to eliminate religion. When you do that, you impose automatically your own religion upon the others. > The reliance on mystic insights of prophets to tell us why things are and why > we must do X and not Y. You confuse religion with argument per authority, and tat will continue as long as theology does not come back to science, which put reason before texts, and is modest in never claiming truth, but only means of testing ideas.
