Sure, but I am not worshipping it. What does that even mean?

And when a new thing, undreamt, pops into our lives it becomes part of the 
philosophy. Simple - there is nothing outside science because science keeps 
growing. 
Reason can encompass anything that is real. If you want to glory in that which 
is not real then you have ghosts and ESP and gods for company. Keep them.

As to art/creativity -- this argument is of the form "feelings can't be 
experienced by reason." Well, that's actually sensible - I agree, but it does 
not make those feelings somehow supernatural.
