This is interesting, since the original reply to Glenn had a
mathematician quoted as saying that Godel's theorem only applied to
axioms about the natural numbers. Since I had used Godel's theorem to
say that "scientism" is refuted by it in the past, I was worried that I
was misusing it. I'm glad you, as a mathematician, made the closing
remarks that you did.
