Hindu vs Christain

[Goosebump]

Hmm Quine is a philosopher of science, so he is in some sense asking how science itself works. If I remember correctly his web of belief metaphor is looking at empiricism, or how scientific theories work, and how they change when they come into contact with observation.

As to why I didn't write a story, because that's time consuming and not the only way to exchange ideas.

Help me out here. I might have the wrong dude. But I googled your man "Quine". This came up:

So, Quine takes the traditional problem of the epistemology (had to look this one up: the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope. Epistemology is the investigation of what distinguishes justified belief from opinion.) of empirical knowledge and interprets it in exclusively scientific terms. From this viewpoint, epistemological problems need to be reformulated according to those standards of clarity, evidence and explanation that are found in science.

Isn't that just a fancy way of saying proven by the scientific method? If so what does that have to do with webs and stories and such? It sounds like this guy was pretty grounded in facts and evidence based conclusions.

Also feel free to address me as you would a drooling toddler. I make no claim to being a brainiac or intellectual.

Edit: Also should have opened with this. Thank you for your time and attention. I assure you it is not waisted. Misplaced maybe, but not waisted.
