Nice! I missed this, I was on a "pastoral sabbatical" for several years, and I intend to shortly go on another. Goanet is too crazy for me to keep up with. In any case, 5 years from now we will still be rehashing the same things :)
Allwyn is defending postmodernism, the New Age and eastern mysticism against modern science and western establishment.
That sounds like an impressive. Think I may put that in my resume :)
Allwyn believes Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine are legitimate sciences, whereas modern medical science is not a science at all because it relies on objective observational evidence.
Only that the science has not changed. It was empirical, it still is empirical. The problem I have with modern science is that there is too much special interest driving it.
Allwyn believes that there are no proofs even in Mathematics.
That's not what I said. Yes, there are indeed proofs. However the proofs are based upon axioms, and are therefore susceptible to the validity of the axioms on which they are based. Check out the wiki link for axioms which explains this better. Cheers, buddy... a..
