Science is a method, not a specific user.Yeah, it's a method which depends on material observations taken within a particular framework.
"Science has limits" Well, okay, technically this isn't one of them, but it appears, at least, to be one of our limits. If -we- depend on material observations taken within a particular framework, and the metaphysical is by definition meant to be different than the physical.........
Quote:Really? It's the tool we use to answer questions of cosmogony? Great news. Go ahead and tell me why science says the cosmos exists. *holds breath*To loosely quote Sidney Messenberger, if it didn't..you'd still be complaining. Yes, Benny, we use science to answer questions of cosmogony. Cosmogony is an active and productive branch of scientific research. Were you unaware of this, or are you simply frustrated at the rate at which it answers questions, or which questions it hasn't gotten round to answering yet?
What lead you to believe that science wasn't the proper tool for a subject that science is the most productive tool for? What, for that matter, about the sheer existence of an unanswered question do you take to be indicative or demonstrative of the metaphysical, what other tool do you think is the proper tool, and by what means do you make any such determination or inference?
