Rob Naylor : It's always interesting asking Post-Modernists who state that "western science" is just a belief system like any other and no more absolutely valid than any other world-view, to follow that precept to its logical conclusion by doing something (anything) that goes against the tenets of established theory.

To them I usually point to the abundance of technology & medical science that such a 'belief system' has made possible. Maybe my faith in technology is blind to the extend I don't personally understand it - be it my laptop, my TV or my synthesisers & FX - but I don't believe they are unknowable in any sort of supernatural sense, otherwise they wouldn't exist. My life is currently dependent on 5 different types of medication - I owe my very being here to science. The other day I read of a skull transplant involving a 3-D printed cranium. Amazing!

Belief system? We're entering an age where belief is redundant. All we need is Gnosis!
