Is 'challenging existing paradigms' allowed?

Rupert Sheldrake, a frequent visitor teacher of my favourite holistic education college in Dartington tells what is wrong with the existing paradigm that defines our institutions we depend on.  In a TED lecture he uses the very same method to test a few basic core principles embedded in the existing scientific paradigm.  In a related radio interview he tells how science cannot recognise its dogmatism regarding the scientific world view.

On a different note, science is capable to ignore proven therories especially when they are not in the frame of the materalistic world view based on the existing scientific paradigm.  Masaru Emoto's memory of the water, Ian Stevenson's research on reincarnation are just a few of the many examples.  Regardless, the paradigm is shifting.
