Re: Naturalism
Great post, Percy, however I think your inclusion of "peer reviewed" in the definition of Science is flawed. Peer review is not a fundamental part of science but rather a method of ensuring that work performed is really valid science. Research does not become science when it undergoes peer review, and those who worked before the widespread introduction of peer review were not failing to perform scientific work because of this absence.
