"I have faith and belief myself. I believe that the universe is
comprehensible within the bounds of natural law and that the human brain
can discover those natural laws and comprehend the universe. I have not
evidence for this. IT IS SIMPLY WHAT I HAVE FAITH IN AND WHAT I BELIEVE".
(Counting the Eons, p. 10)

Is this statement scientific? Is it a dogma which the Extropian Religion
should accept on faith and incorporate into its catechism (defined as
"religious questions and answers")? Does the statement make sense?
Is it valid? Should it be incorporated into Extropian grant applications
under "faith-based public works"? And what would the grant application be
for? How about what Al Grimes on Future Cities called a "Robotropolis" (in
honour of Pope Asimov I).
