Yes, of course. The beliefs of "Scientologists" or astrologers, or
all sorts of Fundamentalists (or Communists) are other
systems. I was only saying that this one (science) is not
LIKE any one, because it is the ONLY one which gives us reliable TRUTH.

With this I strongly disagree.
The scientific knowledge is certain for very different reasons.
Because it is TESTED by experience.
Look, everyone, even Muslim Fundamentalists use
cell phones, cars, automatic weapons, explosives and Internet.
(The things unimaginable without scinece).
And their system of beliefs is very different from ours.

Name me a person of ANY system of beliefs who never used
electricity.
