I can use a science, genealogy, in order to find who was my ancestors. But it will tell me nothing about their philosophy and religious beliefs. Religion is not about science but about beliefs (some peoples are even saying ideology). Philosophy is also a science. Look at an example. Christian peoples are believing at Maria, the mother of Jesus, was a virgin, and at even Joseph, the father, was not aware of it. They said at it is a mystery, and at the same time, they are trying to explain it. What say philosophy about it? A mystery is by definition something that no one can explain. So it can be only 2 scientific explanations: 1) It is a mystery and they are wrong to try to explain it. 2) They explain it and they are wrong to try to tell at it is a mystery. So, genealogy as philosophy must go in the herd science. As religion is not a science but a belief, it cannot go here. Maybe a herd belief? -- Dominique Michel -- N.B.: Tous les emails que je reçois sont filtrés par spamassassin avant de me parvenir.
