I still think the answer is no, science cannot tell us this. It would involve extrapolation beyond what we can observe/test. If we cannot test, our conclusion requires 100% accurate and exhaustive (relevant) premises. Just basing them on "what things seem to be like" produces a speculative result; one which we have no way whatsoever to test the truth of.
To help me out (both in this discussion and in future ones), can you be more specific about the data I am extrapolating with, as well as the extrapolation I appear to be making?
What percentage of accuracy would you assign to the following premise?:
"Some things exist on the condition that other more fundamental things exist synchronously."
If not 100%, can you point to the deficiency? THANKS! =)
