Thanks, Bruno,
The 'truth' was missing from my post.
there was a technical mistake: from my sentence as mailed:
> Being a "he" you pointed to (rejcted though as 'atheist') I really do
> not ' believe. What I
> find "logically not so repugnant -
one word disappeared in the mailing process. Originally I wrote:
> Being a "he" you pointed to (rejcted though as 'atheist') I really do
> not ' believe in T R U T H (that was in RED). - then came a new par:
. What I find "logically not so repugnant - etc. etc.
Maybe the red insert was not well accepted by the computer-god.

The reductionist dichotomy is semantic: I called 'science' (the reductionst)
the conventional historic 'gathering of information as humanity could'
and identified it earlier as a "model-view" of a boundaries-enclosed topical
cut out from the totality. Reductionist science (sic) observes events WITHIN
the topical boundaries and draws conclusions applied many times BEYOND
them.(what I find false).
Academic - tenure - even Nobel type conventional science is rfeductionistic
in this sense.. I agree: "SCIENCE" should be as you identified it.
