We know that you don't get to vomit up any old statement, as you did above, and then claim to be approaching or seeking truth. We knew that long before we ever got into science, and science can't draw conclusions without reference to philosophy - as a largely inductive system itself. Science sans philosophy is a nonsensical statement, and philosophy without science is merely an exhibition of structural method.
Wow, well said!!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
