Exactly why all of science, not just the quacks, is a religion. All the 
posits of science, like any religion, rests on recursive faith in 
itself. Logic is the right way to evaluate the world because that's 
science. Science is the right way to evaluate the world because that 
relies on logic. It's full of just as many conceptual loops as any other 
religion. We make fun of religious groups for their tendency to back up 
why their religion is right by looking to their religion but that is 
exactly what science does. It's all mystical. It's all faith. I happen 
to think my religion, science, is better than others but that again is 
based merely on faith in my own religion.
