No Peter, it is all about science, no matter how much you harumph and

*What's* all about science?

The stuff you deleted. :-(

Is there anything that is *not* all about science?

Sure. Let's start with art...

Can anything be all about science whilst simultaneously being all about
something else?

Sure, but you've got to look at the context.

When I went to the mosque to join up to this Islam thing they told me I
had to renounce all my other beliefs. When I tried to argue the principle
of interpenetration of opposites, aka superposition, they said I also had
to stop arguing. If it weren't for this characteristic of exclusive
reductionism, I could have been really religious.

I think you made a good choice. I'm sorry to say that you can probably get a
similar "treatment" at a lot of Christian churches. It doesn't have to be
that way.

Science is different from religion partly in that it is not, in itself,
exclusive.

Well, there's religion and there's giving his due to the 1 true God.
Regreattably, those are very often two very different things.
