That's the point. As Carrol pointed early in the discussion, it has always been controversial exactly what constitutes science. That leaves the door open for pseudo-sciences like creationism. The point is there are huge grey areas between science and pseudo-science. It is best to get away from an excessive worship of science which I am afraid is what is happening today. -raghu. -- Really ??
