14. No.
"In unexpected ways, science and mysticism are joining hands and reinforcing each other."

Science is reinforced by adding facts to the equation, not adding superstition.

It has been the dream of every mystic, theist, and woo woo, that some day, science would reinforce their ideas. They twist and torture science to make it look like science is on their side. Just search this forum for mentions of the word "quantum" and you will find a hundred examples.

One of my favorite quotes: It is a poor religion that requires science and a poor science that requires religion. (I don't know the author of that, but if you do know, please share with me.)
