Can't explain anything... scientifically. Please, let's not be ridiculous: a justification can be made for anything with anything REGARDLESS of how 'correct' or self-defeatingly hypocritical it might be.
Stop being ridiculous, nobody cares that you can't elucidate your point when you make it
Or rather... nobody should careBunch of whiners we've got here.
Can't explain anything in a way that anyone can tell is true or not. To be fair, it can explain ANYTHING to the same degree that any other made-up and unfalsifiable answer to a question can. Non-material electron fairies are the secret cause of voltage is as plausible as any other dualistic claim. There's no way of knowing which dualistic explanation for something, if any, is right.
