Which of his ten dogmas do you dispute? They all seem fairly sensible to me.
It his claiming that they are wrong which I find absurb.
============================================

Well then, perhaps it's time to start thinking for yourself!

As to an itemised critique of the dogmas, I really don't have a couple of
hours right now to run through the list in detail and create a complete
personal assessment. But some I agree with certainly, like the nonsense of
naturopathy. Others are totally blinkered like the idea that consciousness
is only allowed to be explained on a purely materialistic basis. And I'm not
sure that some even reflect populist science nowadays. Someone more
knowledgeable will probably correct me here, but isn't at least one strand
of modern cosmological thinking based around the idea that certain constants
haven't always been constant, eg isn't it hypothesised that Big G did vary
in the early universe and so provides one possible explanation of (cosmic)
inflation?
