You go ahead and peruse that at your own leisure, having read this hopefully you can see how much of a fool you're making of yourself.
Believing in the religion of science and justifying that belief with ready made definitions about the "facts" being incontrovertible truth: that is religious foolery in the extreme.

In order to understand the exact nature of an institution you must examine [b][i]what it does[/i][/b], not the way its adherents define it.
