The main flaws of science according to Rupert Sheldrake

In his 2012 book Science Set Free. 10 Paths to New Discovery British biologist Rupert Sheldrake has listed ten flawed core beliefs of reductionist science. Oddly enough, in general scientists and lay people alike take them for granted.

1. Everything is essentially mechanical.
   People and animals are complex mechanisms, rather than living organisms with goals of their own.
   Richard Dawkins (The Selfish Gene) views people as machines (genetically programmed computers), as ‘lumbering robots.’
2. All matter is unconscious.
   Matter has no inner life or subjectivity or point of view. Human consciousness is an illusion produced by the material activities of brains.
3. The total amount of matter and energy
   is always the same.
   Exception: [*] Theory of Big Bang, when all the matter and energy of the universe suddenly appeared.
4. The laws of nature are fixed.
   They are the same today as they were at the beginning and will stay the same forever.
5. Nature is purposeless, and evolution has no goal or direction.
6. All biological inheritance is material, carried in the genetic material (DNA) and in other material structures.
7. Human consciousness is an illusion.
   The human mind is inside the head/brain and the activities of brains. The image of the tree you are seeing is not ‘out there’, where it seems to be, but inside your brain.
8. Memories are stored as material traces in brains and are wiped out at death.
9. Unexplained phenomena like telepathy are illusory.
10. Mechanistic medicine is the only kind that really works.
