well its the same reason everything in the name of science is not accepted as science .... in other words knowledge is qualified by epistemology and not merely labels like "science" or "religion"

LG... Have you ever seen the episode of Father Ted were the Bishop comes to vist, and when he asks them a question they have no answer for, they always say "That would be an ecumenical matter, Bishop Brennan".
