JE:-
Would Dr Hoelzer please explain why
he appears to argue that "the process of
self-organization" constitutes some sort
of _scientific_ process? Could he also
answer: How is "the process of self-organization"
different to ordinary mystical processes such
as creationism. Is Dr Hoelzer aware that
"creation science" is now being taught
in some schools in the USA? By what
epistemology can any mystical processes
be regarded as a science?
