BEYOND MATERIALIST SCIENCE - A Response to Steve Taylor, Frank Visser, and David Lane - ROLF SATTLER

Science has been and can be defined and understood in many different ways. Understanding it in materialist terms as materialist science is only one way among others. Probably for historical reasons, it is the most common way in our mainstream society. In fact, many scientists and laypersons equate science with materialist science.
