Good Grief! I don¹t see numbers running around. Some accommodation has been made! So I would agree that the language of the scientific method suffers from things left out. I would suggest ³mechanical² and ³conscious² distinguish a scientific method as it does all methods. There are words of evolution that IMO the scientific method accepts, SQ/DQ. Joe Hi Joe, Dude, I can't understand what you are saying. What is an IMO?, What's with all the 3 2 quotes? What things are left out of the language of science? What is so distinguishing about mechanical and conscious. If the scientific method accepts SQ/DQ then how do you measure them? My point was that to apply a scientific method to spirituality may not be adequate in the same way as applying a spiritual method to science. You may be addressing this point with your comment, but it sure appears obscure to me. I haven't seen any numbers running around recently either, unless you are talking women.
