On the Success of Scientific Theories

[FallentoReason]

@everyone:

The end goal here is to explain why it is that science is successful. The topic of truth is more of a thing embedded within the end goal we're trying to achieve.

Right, I went off in a bit of a tangent, but one which as you say, is closely related.

Absolutely. The No Miracles argument proposes that science is successful because our theories are true. But the problem is that saying they're successful because they're true is essentially saying the predictions they make are true (hence the success) because they are true. That's not much of an explanation thus far!
