A being "outside of the framework", to borrow the religious nutters favorite fantasy, could do science.That's fine. Let's specify-- I'm talking about human science, not the science of magical space monkeys in another dimension.

If Zoltan from the 5th Foam wants to come and tell us how the Universe was made, then:
1) I will change my mind about science and its capabilities.
2) All hail Zoltan! Oh Zoltan, won't you please by me a new Mercedes Benz?
Until then, I'm going to stick to science as a human activity, with its actual limitations in making material observations from inside the Universe.
Quote:Meanwhile, you have yet to present a single example of your claimed "clearly metaphysical" whatsits. It remains an empty set, even as science answers the kind of questions you hilariously assert that it's incapable of addressing, based on who knows how you would know that. Did you intuit it, or something?Science does not, in fact, answer the questions I claim it's incapable of addressing. If it does, then this thread can end with a link. Go ahead and provide it.
