An interesting exchange. If you read David Hume and Karl Popper, you'd
see that there is a significant flaw in each scientific assertion, a flaw
that make it far closer to religious faith than most would acknowledge.
What is that flaw, according to Hume and Popper, no scientific statement
is proveable. That is, if the sun has come up every day, and if it came
up today, you cannot prove it will come up tomorrow. To say it will, is
an assertion of faith, not offering of proof. Every scientific statement,
then, rests upon an unproveable faith--just as does religion.
Interesting.
Make it a good day.
