Quote:-and yet it's an active field of researchThe field of cosmogony deals with the Big Bang and the unfolding of events as the Universe expanded. It doesn't explain why there was Big Bang, or by what mechanism it could have unfolded.
Still, I doubt that bickering over the minutiae is going to approach the point of contention between empiricism and other-than-empiricism or physics and metaphysics. Let's just assume that your cants are in effect, and that no hypothesis will ever yield a theory. Would the unsuitability or even failure of one tool suggest or imply that there was some other tool, that we possessed it, or that the set of things this tool was unsuitable for was actually populated?
