Now that's what I like to hear, some good old fashioned faith!

Seriously though Paul, before being quite so scathing about (any past) ethos or its' paradigm; and ignoring for the moment the somewhat tautological aspects of your statement; it would be wise to do some thorough research and appraisal of that which your comments appear to debase.

That is, of course, aside from "a fundamental base of knowledge that will stand the test of time" that Ancient Greek science and philosophy has contributed to our current "knowledge".....
