Gary, list,
My understanding is that "3. The total amount of matter and energy is
conserved" is not a dogma of science and contradicts current physical

As an addendum to my forwarded post, here are what Sheldrake claims to be
10 dogmas of science.
*1. Everything is essentially mechanical.2. All matter is unconscious.3.
The total amount of matter and energy is conserved.4. The laws of nature
are fixed. They are the same today as
