   Science is not about   
   things you know, or about things   
   you think that you know. Science   
   is about how you know.   
      
   Having said that, western medicine   
   is not as scientific as it should be,   
   and other medicine is not scientific   
   at all.   
      
   There is no evidence that ejaculating   
   onto a sacrifice stone dedicated to   
   the earth goddess (Astarte==Easter)   
   ever helped to produce   
   a better harvest. It was both   
   western and middle eastern, but   
   it was never scientific.   
      
   It remains to be seen whether   
   JudeoChristianism will have a longer   
   run than Baal and that gang with   
   their magical practices, but magic   
   is not science. Metta, Rale
