Perhaps you should learn something from Kuhn and consider that attachment to your pet paradigm is holding you back.
When a scientist wants to build up the self-image of science they do the exact opposite of what you're suggesting. They use Newton as an example to prove that science is superior to the other disciplines he also practiced but bore no fruit.
- brudgers 11y agoThe propensity of a not small portion of the professionally practising population of scientists to postulate the most high profundity to their belief system is a legacy of the discipline's origin among theologians and in the traditionally sectarian institutions that are universities. The proof of science's superiority is on as firm footing as proofs of god when it comes to logical validity, e.g. the Newton that is pointed it to is not the Newton who held the beliefs of Principia's author, as the Schollium demonstrates. Be fair to theology, for it admits when it's proofs resort to revelation.
