UCANSEE2: "One thing you said that I disagee with-

'Sure, but all scientists accept basic assumptions, premises & definitions of natural-science,'

Specifically the words 'ALL' and 'SCIENTISTS'. "

Right, you might have a point there... except that by my definition anyone who does not accept such basic assumptions, premises & definitions, for methodological purposes, is not a real scientist.

So it's not a matter of dictating certain ideas, but rather of awarding only those who earn it the title "scientist".

Agreed.
