Not at all. You know, God was a nickname for “the ultimate truth we are searching when doing fundamental science”, and the “blasphemy” was for any invocation and special use of of concept like “true”, “reality”, “world” … the use of this is invalid. You could as well invoke miracle. So you lack some background in metaphysics and/or what is the scientific attitude. > >> You cannot appeal to an ontological commitment in science. > > There is no ontological commitment in phenomenology -- unless you want to > deny the existence of consciousness…. Ah, so you think that the notion of world used by Brent was phenomenological? That makes my point in that case, as physics must becomes phenomenological, which was all I needed to justify. > >> Here is you god, selecting an histories, or a class of histories.
