OK, fair enough. The reason I was asking was your statement that scientists
are taught metaphysics as part of their training. The statement I was
referring to is:
"So, how can a scientist believe in God when he is trained to only accept
that what is scientifically proven?"
It seemed to imply that scientists are taught that only the emperical can be
accepted. That is a metaphysical presupposition that science need not make
and chooses not to adress at all.
