Liz asked:

Comment on the following statement: "Empirical science can prescribe nothing — since 'prescribing'
must be done by a 'prescriber'.

============

You really want a "comment" on this? Ok... it seems silly to the point of meaningless to me. It seems
to be a rhetorical device designed to discredit science and to set up an argument for religious
authority, by creating categories which seem meaningful but actually aren't. How about that?
